This is the third consecutive year the city has hosted the event. Featured speakers include Wolfgang Ansel, director of the international Green Roof Association, and green roof designer Paul Kephart. In addition, students and faculty from ACE Academy, a charter school for students interested in careers in the design-build industry, will construct a demonstration eco-roof during the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
