In the wake of the Marshall Fire, there are hundreds of families in Boulder County in need of practical, useful advice as they take their initial steps toward the rebuilding process. This event will be the first of a year-long series of conversations and trainings hosted by the Colorado Green Building Guild and sponsored by Boulder County intended to grow the connection between high performance building professionals and those in the public looking for expert advice and live Q&A about the ins and outs of building a high-performance home.

The first conversation will focus on essential design elements of residential construction that will make the most impact to the performance of future homes without breaking the bank. By the end, the audience will know what top ten things professionals think you should be thinking about before you build. 

This event will be a structured panel discussion with ample Q+A time available. The session will be available in both English and Spanish and will be recorded. The panel is made up of local building professionals, many of whom have personal experience with either the Marshall Fire or previous wildfire incidents.

Boulder County is a sponsor of Colorado Green Building Guild (CGBG) and is supporting the series with Spanish interpretation services. CGBG is a non-profit organization based in Boulder County that is run by volunteer building professionals (architects, builders, engineers, and building science interested individuals).
