West Coast Green, America's largest residential green building conference, today announced plans for its 2007 event, which is scheduled to take place Sept. 20 to 22 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. More than 250 speakers, including Sarah Susanka, Michelle Kaufmann, Bob Berkebile, Cameron Sinclair, David Eisenberg, Tom Paladino, Eric Corey Freed, and Ed Mazria, are scheduled to give presentations. In addition, educational programs will cover such subjects as green technology, construction, design, energy, health, landscaping, and remodeling.

While West Coast Green is essentially a professional trade conference, the event has scheduled its popular "Homeowner Day" for Saturday, Sept. 22, when the conference opens its doors to the general public, A number of community leaders and visionaries are scheduled to attend that day, including San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, Hollywood actor Ed Begly Jr., and environmental/civil rights leader Van Jones.

Homeowners who are planning to design and build a new, energy-efficient green home, or those looking to upgrade the efficiency of their existing homes, can walk the trade show floor, where they will learn about hundreds of products and services designed to help them build, remodel, power, insulate, clean, furnish and finance their green homes.

In addition, to boost public awareness about greenbuilding, West Coast Green will construct a high-performance green home in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza in front of City Hall and the Bill Graham Civic Center. Designed by Michelle Kaufmann, the mkLotus home will be built using off-site modular technology and promises to feature the most advanced green technology and sustainable materials available on the market today.

Homeowners are also invited to stop by the "Futures Room," which will display new green technologies and urban initiatives that lie just over the horizon. And for visitors who need a rest from all of the activity, West Coast Green offers a Nap Room (with dimmed lights and tea service) and an Internet Caf©.

Smart HomeOwner is a sponsor of the event. For more information or to register, call 800-724-4880 or visit http://www.westcoastgreen.com.
