Gathering in Boston to showcase sustainable construction, reducing energy costs, best investments
WASHINGTON – All across the country, public housing authorities are struggling to control skyrocketing energy costs, often accounting for nearly a quarter of their operating budgets. To help cut energy bills and consumption, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) will host “Going Green: Intelligent Investments for Public Housing” an energy conservation conference on July 13-14, 2011 in Boston.
