[SustainableNC] Proj Green Mtg 7/19 update

[Sharron Rogers]

Our special tour of the EPA High Performance/Green Buildings at RTP is very
much on for Friday, July 19.  
Nearly 40 people have already indicated they will be attending.
 
 
With this email, please RSVP by cob Monday, July 15 with the names of
individuals coming from your organization.  I need a name and yes/no for
shuttle from MotorFleet (be there ~8:45 for 9:00am departure-- return 12n)
Be inclusive of names if there is a 'maybe' or guards may not let them in.
We can add a few names at last minute, if necessary.  
 
Bring picture ID for 9/11 level security at EPA.
 
Many departments and universities have invited their building designers so
our numbers are very strong.  The High Performace Building Pilot leaders are
also being invited.  
 
Please consider sending a purchasing pro.   EPA has major investments in
environmentally preferable purchasing for office furniture, wall coverings,
carpet, lighting, etc and we will have one tour group focus on these
opportunities.  For this building, they even chamber-tested products to
certify they met the required specifications and have actually impacted the
marketplace by doing so.  If appropriate invite someone to join
us...agencies and universities who buy a lot of furniture and floor covers
especially. 
 
If you're driving directly:   Westbound I-40 to exit 279A  (to Alexander
Dr).  Follow the ramp to the end at light.  Turn left on Alexander Drive.
Take first left at Traffic light at EPA sign.  First security check is at
this gate.  If they don't have your name from me, you probably won't be able
to get in.    To get to main building, continue past guard stop, road curves
to right.  National Computer center will be on your left.  Continue through
intersection (no light) to right turn to Visitor parking.   You will come up
to very small visitor parking lot in front of two large building.  We will
be meeting in Lobby of the one on the Left which is main building.  Enter
and go through security again.  If parking is full continue on around this
loopcircle and you will cross past the point where you turned into Visitor
parking.  A short distance on left is a flat parking lot in front of a
parking garage.  Park there and walk back up to front of main building
Lobby.  
 
Eastbound folks should exit to Highway 54 through RTP...can use Davis Drive
exit.  Go south to 54 turn left to Alexander Dr, (old EPA Fort intersection
for those who know RTP)  turn left/South.  Second traffic light (left) is
EPA.  See above directions for parking.  
 
Check out the cafeteria while your there...or stay for lunch if your driver
and group can stay.  The EPA cafeteria has many many green features and is a
No Waste operation...and that includes carryout containers!   
 
EPA folks are excited about our group.  Bill Laxton, Head Administrator for
EPA in the Park will greet us and may even head a tour group.  Looks like
its going to be an excellent networking opportunity!
