A look at innovation’s role in the future of green building at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School that was canceled due to inclement weather has been rescheduled for March 19.
Kenan-Flagler’s Center for Sustainable Enterprise will present Rob Watson, a pioneer of the modern green-building movement, and Dennis Quaintance, owner of Proximity Hotel in Greensboro, in “Wanted: Radical Confidence: Why the Future is in Our Hands Today†at 5:30 p.m. in Koury Auditorium. The event is part of the center’s Leaders in Sustainability series and is co-hosted and co-sponsored by the N.C. Triangle Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council.
Watson is considered a founding father of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the recognized international standard by which green buildings are measured worldwide. He is chairman, chief executive officer and chief scientist of the EcoTech International Group, which provides green-building technologies and services in China, India and the United States.
