Readers Choice Award for Best Software at
Green Build 2008

This month we attended the U.S. Green Building Council’s Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Boston. It is the premier expo for sustainable building environments in the US. 2008’s theme was - “Revolutionary Green: Innovations for Global Sustainability.”

We were excited to learn that Drag and Fly, an innovative application build by us was awarded the Reader’s Choice Award in the best software category at Green Build 2008 (as announced by Environmental Design + Construction (ED+C) and Sustainable Facility).

The contest gave readers the opportunity to vote for the crème de la crème of green building products that best combine sustainable attributes with ease of use and installation. We are delighted that this application platform we implemented for Mohawk won this significant award. Click on the image to the left to visit this website.
 
 
The Green Standard Website


Another exciting project we were involved in was the launch of the “Bright Green, Bright Future” Campaign by The Green Standard (TGS) at Green Build. We developed a range of interactive and marketing tools for them that helped launch this program and this is the feature focus for
this month.

TGS is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2000 to advance sustainable production and consumption, using life-cycle based resources. We effectively redesigned a beautiful, easy to navigate site and through the use of bright and lively colors, captured the essence of their foundation. TGS has been delighted with the results and have been receiving very positive feedback from site visitors and their board members. Click on the image to the left to visit this website.
