Green Plants for Green Buildings New at the Green Building Expo

Green Plants for Green Buildings, a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable education group (GPGB), will inform expo attendees on the importance of integrating natural foliage within the green building design at the International Conference and Expo in Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix, Arizona slated from November 10th through November 12th 2009.

GPGB will present significant evidence indicating that live interior plants are crucial to the overall
environmental quality within a building. The group’s LEED AP’s (Leadership in Energy and
Environment Accredited Professional), including Phoenix based GPGB Executive Board

member, Joe Zazzera will be presenting a rich body of relevant research including green building credited case studies from around the globe.

The Greenbuild expo is the world's largest conference and expo dedicated to green building, with last year’s event hosting 28,224 registered attendees representing 85 countries.

Upon their visit to educational table T-30 attendees and media will learn of findings, which vastly
expand upon the credited benefits of planted/greenspace window views. GPGB will be sharing the
vital environmental quality advantages of including interior plant installations in commercial spaces
(including published and in-progress study findings on the quantification of carbon assimilation of

interiorscape plants).

According to GPGB, such benefits result from the interior plant’s capacity to produce cleaner air, their demonstrated provision of feelings of pleasure, calm and relief from attention fatigue; decline in sick-leave absences by 60%, a substantial increase in productivity, improved performance on test computer tasks, card-sorting and creative thinking tests, classroom reduced illness absences among primary-school children, as well as reductions in pain perception, anxiety, depression and feelings of hostility.
