PRESENTATIONS
Building fields advances through shared knowledge. Verdant's principals have presented research and authored papers at conferences focused on earthen construction, carbon-storing building systems, and alternative material permitting. Every presentation is an opportunity to introduce engineers, architects, builders, and code officials to these materials, demonstrate what is possible, and build the community of practitioners advancing natural building. Verdant has spoken at conferences across the country, a selection of which are listed below.
