We should know shortly about the exact requirements to meet the standards for meeting venues.<br /><br />In general, both of the practices you described make good green meetings and good business sense. I would recommend you request both and measure the outcome. You will be ahead of the game when the standards are published.<br /><br />Thanks for following!<br /><br />Nancy J. Zavada, CMPNancy J.

Happy to have found your blog! <br /><br />In general I have had a hard time finding specifics regarding the levels and their subsequent achievement requirements. We are really on uncharted territory- very exciting!<br /><br />My question deals specifically with the "meeting venue" aspect... do you get 'points' for a venue with renewable power or other progressive building techniques? or for reducing/offsetting your energy use in general? <br /><br />Furthermore, how can I get more involved in the development process of industry standards?<br /><br />Thanks for doing what you do! <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Tatianna <br />www.solamor.orgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01963937741187258243noreply@blogger.com
