Major U.S. cities and around the globe are moving toward building “green.” The Greening the (918) Seminar Series, produced by Sustainable Tulsa and Mayor Taylor’s Green Team, continues Wednesday, Nov. 13 with a program on Green Building, co-hosted by the Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa and Tulsa Partners’ Millennium Center project for green and safe living. The seminar offers Tulsans an opportunity to find out about Tulsa’s challenges and opportunities to building “green” buildings and homes. The meeting will be held at the Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa, 11545 East 43rd Street from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13. Green building refers to components of the building process, including the use of recycled materials or sustainably-grown materials to build the home, the use of fixtures and systems that will reduce the consumption of energy to heat and cool and light the structure; and the use of fixtures and system that will conserve water both inside and outside the building. Each of these items can also save the building owner money over the long term.
