acla:works at the TT Energy Conference
This Wednesday acla:works associate, Mandilee Newton, will be present at the Trinidad & Tobago Energy Conference. She won't be there only to learn, though – Mandilee was invited to present our design of the Environmental Management Authority's regional office building [for more information on this project's sustainable design features check the "Related Project" link at right].
As an advocate for sustainability and a LEED® Green Associate, Mandilee has been getting quite a few of these requests recently! In October of last year, she was a speaker at the CAIC’s conference on Capacity Building of Caribbean Private Sector Environmental and Energy Management Capabilities.
Mandilee has also authored various papers on sustainability, including “Sustainable Design in the Caribbean Context” and “LEED – A Caribbean Architect’s Perspective,” and is on the steering committee for the recently established Trinidad and Tobago Green Building Council, launched in September 2010.
Mandilee's TT Energy Conference presentation starts around 1.30pm Wednesday. If you're at the Hyatt then, stop by and say hello. Other members of the acla:works team will be in attendance over the three days of the conference and, once it's past, look out for our thoughts on it here.
