Rate It Green at NESEA'S BuildingEnergy07 Show!

All we can say simply is "What a show." It is unbelievable how supportive the NESEA community was of Rate It Green during the Building Energy 07 event. People were asking questions and offering all kinds of thoughts and ideas. Keep them coming!



We were very excited about the show for so many reasons. First of all, we really appreciated the corporate sponsors who helped us participate in the event. See the list of sponsors below. Second, it was great to get out there and start telling people we are here in person. We met many people who have green building knowledge who said they would be willing to complete ratings and share what they know with others.

Through the show and our sponsors and volunteers, we were able to create a kind of live demonstration of the impact we plan for the site as it grows. We connected several contractors and subcontractors, and they got talking business right away! We also showed off many environmental products and services. People were playing with the Ultra Touch denim insulation, using the Excel dryer, computing away on the Earth PC, turning over the Waterless Urinal and saying, “Isn’t that cute?” Well, it was the residential model...! They also hopped up and down on our Selectech flooring and spoke to our green contractor from Living Structures and green consultant show volunteers (David, Jack, Jared, Paul)! There was also a great deal of interest in green roofs, and we were happy to have Earth Our Only Home representatives on hand to answer questions much of the time.

We can not forget to mention the Equal Exchange Chocolate and cool bike rack bookends from Cycle-Safe. Many people said we won the award for “best treat in show” with the delicious dark chocolates, and we had lots of fun picking out our bike rack book end (say that ten times fast) winner. Congratulations to: Bob at Longden Raised Floors!

Thanks so much to everyone who visited the booth! And thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors. This is definitely a show we will continue to be involved with. Maybe a bigger booth next year!
