The recent growth of energy-efficient and "green" building codes was the topic of a seminar, "Builders Go Green," at the 10th annual Alternative Building Materials & Design Expo, held at the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, Calif. on May 10. "When I first started to work with AltBuild Conference a few years ago, I struggled to find developers who were building sustainable projects," said moderator Wally Geer. "Last year I received more than 100 calls for sustainable projects. This year it's become so wide-spread." "In the marketplace, people will start to play more for green homes," said Robert Kleiman, co-CEO of Structure Homes. The firm develops upper-end housing and custom homes in Los Angeles County. "There's upward pressure in pricing. People are putting more priority in sustainable materials and better building practices. There's incentive and attraction to green homes."
