The exhibit hall hosted all of the usual big industry names and some exciting new companies and products as well. Booths lined literally miles of walkways in the hall, featuring green building services, products, organizations, and education.
It was hard to miss the highly entertaining EMerge Alliance exhibit hosted by "Austin DC Power" who discussed the benefits of adopting safe DC power distribution in commercial buildings. Groovy baby!
