KnowledgePlex: Expert Chats

Green buildings are often thought of as luxuries for those who can afford to pay for the bells and whistles that save energy and protect the environment. But the green revolution is reaching affordable and workforce housing, where energy and transportation savings can equal a decrease in the costs of ownership for homeowners and housing authorities. Learn from experts in the field who have made affordable and work housing energy efficient. What strategies and tools can CDCs and affordable housing organizations use to make their buildings more sustainable? How does the development process change when a housing authority decides to go green?

KnowledgePlex Expert Chats are free to attend and use Microsoft’s Live Meeting Software, a small and free program you must install beforehand. Simply click on the Attendee URL (below) and follow the prompts to install Live Meeting. (For more instructions on the installation, click here). While you can install Live Meeting at any time, we recommend you do so at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the chat. 

Please note – you will not be able to enter the meeting room until 30 minutes before the chat time.   While we recommend you install Live Meeting well ahead of the chat, when you download the software before this 30-minute window, you will see a message saying your meeting has not yet begun.  This is not an error message — this means you have successfully installed Live Meeting. Simply wait until 30 minutes prior to the chat’s start time, and log into the meeting

You may listen to the chat through your computer or by dialing into a conference call.
