New York, NY – On April 20, 2010, The Building Green Expo and Workshops returns to New York City and will take place at 7 World Trade Center. Building Green has added two new elements to this year’s event: A Green Contest which is open to the public, and a children’s educational component geared towards elementary students explaining what sustainability means and providing steps to help keep the world green.

Building Green provides an opportunity for Architects, Construction Managers, Developers, Engineers, General Contractors, Government Agencies, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Trade Contractors to network, showcase their products and educate the general public about new innovations that compliment the NYS Green Building Initiatives. This year’s focus will be about establishing and maintaining relations throughout the construction industry to continue on the path of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Profiled in last week's small business report in Crain's, Ardour Capital is a five-year-old investment bank that focuses exclusively on renewable energy and sustainable technology. Notwithstanding the persisting gloom on Wall Street (more on that in the context of green later this week), the firm expects revenues this year to top $10 million and double by 2009, up from $3.9 million in 2006. According to managing partner and co-founder Brian Greenstein, "[t]here's a recognition that this sector is going to be one of the ones that grow." Ardour's 25 staffers review companies across the green power sector and then distill the technologies down for potential investors. Since opening its doors, Ardour has helped raised over $1 billion for 30 companies; earlier this year, it worked with California-based eco-friendly printer Colorep, Inc. in securing a $24 million private investment.
