About the Salon

The USGBC NM Chapter held a series of six monthly programs called SALONS in 2007, to discuss topics on green building issues, materials and LEED strategies. This program will continue in 2008, topics and dates will be updated as they are determined.  The Salons will take place at a new location in 2008, UNM Continuing Education located at:

1634 University Blvd NE
South Building 
Albuquerque, NM  87104

Each topic will have an invited “expert.” The role of the expert is to bring high level technical information to guide the talk and offer high level content.

Round table format (self introduction in a circle, and begin discussion).

Annual GreenBuilt Tour

The U.S. Green Building Council New Mexico Chapter (USGBCNM) will hold its ninth annual GreenBuilt Tour in New Mexico and is seeking green built homes to feature. The tour will take place May 17 and 18, 2008.

The GreenBuilt Tour is an excellent opportunity for the public to learn about the features of a green home and how sustainable homes are built, and find inspiration.Those who have built a home with these features and want to share what they’ve learned in the process by opening their homes for viewing are encouraged to participate in this year’s Tour.”

Homes will be selected by a committee to be represented on the Green Built Tour and will need to fulfill certain green building standards. Two people will need to be present at the residence during the Tour who can describe the home’s sustainability features. Applications are due by February 21, 2008.

The GreenBuilt Tour will culminate Sustainability Week events being planned by USGBCNM. On Saturday, May 10, in Albuquerque, a series of lectures and workshops will be held along with a vendors show, for people to learn more about green building and see products and materials that are environmentally friendly. During the week, there will be tours of green commercial buildings and workshops for building professionals

Community Events

Join Us Albuquerque For Green Drinks
What is Green Drinks? Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up for a beer at an informal sessions known as Green Drinks. A lively mixture of people from academia, government, and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there's always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network. These events are simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity.

When: Second Tuesday of every month, 5:30 - 7:00
Location: One Up Club - 301 Central NW 2nd floor - (NW corner of the pool room).

Please send an email to Hilary Noll: hen@smpcarch.com with Green Drinks in the subject line to get reminders before each Green Drinks.
