The New York Industrial Retention Network (NYIRN) hosted the Spec It Green seminar last night in New York City. NYIRN works to strengthen New York City's manufacturing sector. This series of seminars focuses specifically on Green Building and the advantage of using local, sustainable building supplies and manufacturers. Green vendors were on hand to show their wares, followed by a discussion moderated by Erika Hanson, a green designer and consultant. Panelists included Monica Becker (above), a toxicity guru at RIT; John S. Howell, Director of Research and Development at ISLAND Architectural Woodwork, Inc; Chris Garvin from Terrapin and Cook+Fox Architects; and Amanda Clontz, Sustainable Construction Manager for One Bryant Park. The presenters each emphasized the need for greater communication between designers, manufacturers and contractors to ensure complete fulfillment of green initiatives. A bonus from the evening was a list of green resources compiled by all the panelists. Check out their faves after the jump.
