Exclusive Tours 2005

The conference doesn’t end when the doors close. Hop on the famous and environmentally-friendly Chicago Trolley and join us for exciting tours planned just for you at Chicago green attractions, such as...

 Chicago Center for Green Technology

The Chicago Center for Green Technology is the first stop!
This LEED Platinum building serves as a model of sustainable design and an educational resource for green building. The 34,000-square-foot building is a healthy place for people to work and visit since it maximizes energy efficiency and utilizes the highest standards of green building, including a unique vegetative roof and photovoltaic array.

The project used 36% recycled or renewable building materials, and more than half were manufactured regionally.

 Schwab Rehabilitation Center

Chicago’s Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital has added a 10,000 square foot rooftop park & garden for horticultural therapy — a process in which plants and gardening activities are used to improve body, mind and spirit.

Innovative design, lush landscaping, well-engineered waterproofing and soil-support elements combine to make this fourth story rooftop a very safe and special place.
