The Bay Area boasts progression and passion for sustainability and
beyond. The local companies featured within the 500 mile Pavilion are
proud to celebrate accomplishments in their varied industries, from
general contracting to high performance building system designers; from
technology and building materials to engineering and LEED consulting.
Naturally ensuing with this sense of
pride is a commitment to community and giving back. Inspired by California’s Best Buildings Challenge,
and in an effort to raise funds for the Project Haiti Orphanage &
Children’s Center, the 500 Mile companies are developing a philanthropic
challenge you won’t want to miss.
The 500 Mile Pavilion’s “Best BIKE
Challenge,” will draw Greenbuild attendees to generate pedal power on
stationery booth bikes – the more power generated throughout the
conference, the more money donated to the Project Haiti fund. Hosted by
Environmental Building Strategies and Integral Group in booths 5516W and
5518W, the bikes will be available every day of the conference for
attendees to challenge their colleagues and friends to see who can
generate the most power for Haiti.
In addition, on Wednesday night the 500
Mile companies will host an expo hall happy hour (4:30 - 7 pm) with
scheduled “bikeathons” between big names in green building. Come grab a
drink, cheer on your favorite green building leaders and even jump on
the bike yourself to pedal for a cause!
