Green and energy-efficiency is such an important part of The Office Building Show that an entire section of the exhibit hall has been set aside as the Green Pavilion and ENERGY STAR® Showcase and we've enlisted the help of our partner, the U.S. EPA's ENERGY STAR Program, to ensure that the pavilion meets your unique needs.
