gbNYC Inside Baseball: Farewell to the King (of Interns)

Fri

Dec

Oh, hello. Read anything good about green buildings in New York City lately? Care to share a link? This has admittedly been a slow week here at gbNYC, as your editors have been caught up in pre-holiday stress and strain -- I've primarily been preoccupied trying to get Neckies for everyone on my list -- and the news has admittedly not been flowing at its usual pace. That's not really going to change in this post, but I feel the heroic efforts of our intern, Vik Gupta, deserve a pre-holiday mention, especially as his tenure is coming to an end. The guy did a lot of grunt work (not literally, thankfully) to help get gbNYC back into good health, and he deserves a word of thanks for that.

gbNYC Internal Affairs: Excuse Us While We Attend These Nups

Not to put Stephen's business all out in the street or anything, but... let me put Stephen's business out in the street for a minute. He's down in Virginia right now, writing out place cards and double-checking catering and generally doing the things that people who are a day or so away from getting married do. This is because he's getting married this weekend. I know, right? They grow up so fast!

As SDP and I have been friends since we were very small -- we used to discuss photovoltaics and green roofs during kickball games at Ridgewood, New Jersey's Ira W. Travell Elementary -- I'll be attending this wedding, as well. While my role in the proceedings is not nearly as important as Stephen's -- people can generally find their seats without some ironical tuxedo'd guy's mumbled help -- it is demanding enough, time-wise, that neither he nor I will be doing much posting on gbNYC for a little bit. Regularly scheduled programming -- that is, posts by me; Stephen's going to be on his honeymoon -- will resume early next week.

On Tuesday, June 24, the Green Building Initiative and Environmental Design + Construction magazine are sponsoring the first in a series of three webinars examining the various liability issues that construction and real estate industry stakeholders may confront in connection with green projects. I will be presenting on next Tuesday's panel- titled "Risk and Liability in the Construction Industry"- and providing a general overview of potential causes of action that could be asserted against (or brought by) green project stakeholders. You can check out the full list of presenters and an overview of the series here.
