Although many attendees fumed during the hour-long wait in the registration lines that snaked through the cavernous McCormick West Building at the U.S. Green Building Council’s GreenBuild, held Nov. 7-9 in Chicago, when they finally got their registration badges they could feast on an enormous banquet of information to help them design and build energy-efficient buildings.

Dozens of seminars, more than 800 exhibits and a keynote address by former U.S. President Bill Clinton were the highlights of the three-day event in Chicago’s 823,000-square-foot McCormick West Building, billed as one of the greenest new construction projects in the United States. Clinton’s address to a standing-room-only crowd estimated at more than 8,000 drew loud cheers and applause that made the event seem more like a political campaign rally than a trade show and conference dedicated to energy-efficient building design and construction.
