Technical Session at 5:30 pm
LEEDing the way through Green Concrete
The program discusses how to improve IAQ through the medium of concrete while allowing you to employ today’s moisture sensitive coatings and adhesives without having to resort to the commonly used tactic of expensive unnecessary Topical remediation products. It tells a great story of how the EPA forced VOC reductions in products that end up benefitting the building occupants in many different ways.
Our speaker, Scott Bergsbaken, has wide-ranging experience in the Commercial Construction Industry and has been a special design construction consultant to several Fortune 500 Companies regarding National expansion programs.
