PITTSBURGH--The Green Building Alliance has received a $750,000 grant from the Ben Franklin Technology Development Authority (BFTDA) for Year Two of its Green Building Product Initiative and its role with the Pennsylvania Green Growth Partnership.
The announcement came at the BFTDA October meeting yesterday.
The Green Building Products Initiative is a program that engages, educates, and energizes manufacturers, product representatives, and service providers in western Pennsylvania to increase their share of the green building marketing. During the past year dozens of Pennsylvania based
product manufacturers have begun to work with the Green Building Alliance to explore and develop green building products. Their motivations for joining in these efforts vary but one of the highlights is that the green building product market is expected to be a $30-$40 billion market by 2010.
The Green Building Alliance is providing consultation and education services, a building product directory, and funding support for the development of new products. The GBA is actively recruiting additional product manufacturers and architectural services providers to be involved in the initiative.
