Press Release Summary: Chris Boggiano, a West Point officer and decorated Iraq war veteran, leads company with mission to make America\'s buildings more Sustainable (Green) and Energy Efficient.
Press Release Body: New York, Sep 7 - Chris Boggiano, a West Point officer and Iraq war veteran, served with the Army for five years reaching the rank of Captain and earned the Bronze Star with Valor for his actions in combat. His military assignments in Europe exposed him to countries well versed in sustainable building practices with the need for energy efficiency. “Bike trails go everywhere and so do the trains in Europe, who needs long commutes, when workers can safely exercise while on their way to work or read the paper on the local train” Armed with his West Point engineering background and his experiences overseas, Chris recognized the benefits of changing our nation’s habits as a way to continue his service to the country. Understanding how much we can reduce our energy consumption with better building practices, Chris has focused on two emerging Green Building Standards: The US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design “LEED” and the Depart of Energy’s “Energy Star Home” Standards. The LEED and Energy Star Home standards are the world\'s leading certification systems for sustainable architecture. They represent a leap forward for sustainable design with endless benefits over traditional residential and commercial designs. Beyond protecting the environment, they significantly reduce operating costs and improve occupant health & comfort. Additionally, the improved structural integrity results in an increased building longevity. Chris, a certified LEED Accredited Professional and HERS Rater, has assembled a team of building industry professionals to consult for and train architects, engineers, attorneys, builders, developers, and contractors, amongst others on the latest green building standards. Believing that change starts with education, Chris’ company, Everblue Energy Inc., offers in-house training and open enrollment courses to building industry professionals. By training industry professionals to attain the LEED AP certification, Everblue Energy promotes sustainability.
