Green development efforts by local governments was the topic of discussion at last week’s event hosted by the City of Miami. In attendance were Enrique Piñeiro LEED AP and Eduardo Piñeiro of Ros Realty Group, Inc. The panel discussion was given by the City of Miami and the Miami-Dade and the Keys Branch of the U.S Green Building Council (USGBC) South Florida Chapter. Mayor Diaz spoke on how the movement has grown over the past few years with a great deal of work from Mayor’s from all over the United States. Many municipalities including the City of Miami have embraced the green movement especially with the help of ARRA or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The doors have swung open for local governments to build green by providing funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for local governments throughout the United States. This is creating green jobs that are putting communities back to work while creating more efficient and healthier communities and this is really what it’s all about. As a LEED AP Enrique Piñeiro is taking his knowledge to the community he serves by identifying and implementing the practical uses and measureable green building designs that will support the green movement.
