The NJ Post successfully held our first two meetings of the year. In January, we held a joint meeting with the U.S. Green Building Council New Jersey North Branch, Mike Brown of McGrann Associates provided an introduction to ENERGY STAR New Homes Version 3.0. In February, we held a joint meeting with the New Jersey Association for Flood Plain Management, former NJDEP Commissioner Mark Mauriello, Edgewood Properties, gave a presentation on climate change and natural hazards planning in New Jersey. Thank you to both gentlemen for your time to address our group!
