Minnesota’s Green Path hosted a full house of more than 80 industry professionals at its annual Green Path Building Conference on Nov. 14 in Roseville. Residential contractors, remodelers and other members of the industry attended the half-day event, all focused on advancing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building techniques.

Attendees gained valuable insights into utility rebate programs from Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy, explored continuous insulation methods and examined key components of energy-efficient home construction. A panel of energy raters further discussed practical changes to improve a home’s energy efficiency while delivering strong investment returns.

“The annual Minnesota Green Path Building Conference highlights our industry’s ongoing dedication to sustainable and responsible building practices,” said Tom Gavaras, vice president of events and workforce initiatives at Housing First Minnesota. “This event equips our members with the tools and knowledge to adopt green solutions that positively impact both our communities and the environment.”
