Realcomm | IBcon is pleased to announce that Rob Watson, the "Father of
LEED", will join Dave Pogue of CBRE as Co-Chair of the Sustainability
Executive Smart Building Symposium. Rob will add his extraordinary
knowledge and experience from the last 30 years as a visionary in
sustainability to the Smart Building Symposium.
Rob is CEO and Chief Scientist of the ECON Group, which optimizes the
economic and environmental performance of buildings over their
lifecycle.
An international leader in the green building movement and a Senior
Scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Watson is
known as the “Founding Father of LEED.” Under Rob’s direction, LEED
became the largest and fastest-growing international standard by which
green buildings are measured. New York Times columnist and Pulitzer
Prize author Thomas Friedman calls Rob "one of the best environmental
minds in America."
Rob is a former Director and Vice Chairman of the U.S. Green Building
Council (USGBC). Among numerous international awards for his work, he
is the 2013 recipient of the International Conservation Award from the
Botanical Research Institute of Texas. In 2011, he was a semi-finalist
in the international Zayed Energy Future Award for Lifetime Achievement
and was profiled on CNN International. Watson is the only foreigner
honored for Green Building Innovation by the Chinese Ministry of
Construction and received the first lifetime achievement award from the
USGBC in 2002.
I hope you'll be able to join us for this extraordinary event!
