The
Greenbuild
International Conference & Expo, brought to you by the
U.S. Green Building Council,
convenes the industry’s largest gathering of representatives
from all sectors of the green building movement. The 2013
show was held Nov. 20-22 in Philadelphia. Three days of
extensive educational programming, workshops, a vast
exhibition floor and ample networking events provide
unrivaled opportunities to learn about the latest
technological innovations, explore new products and exchange
ideas with other professionals.
During the Expo, students had
the opportunity to speak with engineers and sales
representatives from leading companies around the globe to
gain a deeper insight into their research endeavors they have
begun in class. Two of the NPHS student research teams
are studying Phase Change Materials. These materials
are capable of storing and releasing large amounts of heat
that can be utilized to reduce the energy load on a heating
and cooling system in a building without the use of an external power
source. |
