Special Events
Tour of 1800 Larimer
Wednesday Sept 29, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
In addition to all of the exciting conference topics this year, the AFEC Committee has arranged for a special tour of 1800 Larimer, managed by Westfield Properties. Greg Geiger, Chief Engineer and Certified Energy Manager / LEED AP O+M, will take us on a behind the scenes tour of this LEED Platinum New Construction building. Greg has indicated that this property has put his 27 years industry experience to the test. He has had to learn new building systems that both have added to his intelligence as well as his “building’s intelligence”. Don’t forget to sign up early on for the tour as there is limited space. A networking reception will follow the tour at the Wyncoop Brewing Company, 17th and Wyncoop in Downtown Denver. Includes networking reception N/C (see below for details*).
