Willdan Project Manager Nikola Kravik will represent ASHRAE Golden Gate chapter, which is a community partner to ILFI (International Living Future Institute), at the opening plenary of ILFI's Net Positive Energy + Water Conference on February 4, 2014.

The two-day conference, according to ILFI, "will bring together leading experts from around the world to develop net zero energy and water concepts through the restorative framework of the Living Building Challenge™, the world's most rigorous green building standard. The conference program includes a reception and opening plenary, several keynote speakers and education sessions organized into three tracks: Net Zero Energy Design, Net Zero Water Design and Frontiers of Net Zero Energy."

Nikola commented enthusiastically, "The Living Building Challenge will probably become the reality for us in the next 10-15 yrs, just as NZB are everywhere now."
