I'll correct that. I misunderstood. I thought I heard someone from Pharos Project present at Greenbuild last year and mention the change from non-profit to for-profit model. I can't wait to dig in and see what you have. I've been a fan for a long time. I give twenty to thirty presentations around the country focusing on the impact buildings have on the environment. In the section of my show that's about solutions, I always show an image of the lens system and talk about Pharos. I'm also teaching a class at UCLA this coming winter quarter that's about closed loop systems design. I'm going to have students research evaluation and grading systems and present their findings to the rest of the class. Pharos will be on my list of prefered systems for them to check out. I'll let you know what happens with that. I'm excited to see that things are progressing for you. Good luck. Hi Paul,

I just wanted to clarify that Pharos Project is still very much a non-profit and intending to stay that way. It is a project of the Healthy Building Network (healthybuilding.net) and the 75$ annual subscription helps cover the costs of the project. We also receive philanthropic support from foundations. Most importantly, we are completely independent of manufacturers. We don't charge them to submit their data, don't accept financial support or advertising except for the standard subscriber fee. We are totally, 100% transparent in all our data and sources. I hope you enjoy your visit to the site. Check out the chemical and material library, with data on over 9,000 chemicals used in building products. Thanks again for your interest and your work. Hi Kevin,

I wish we could have seen more. I'll have to figure out a strategy for next year's event. It keeps getting bigger and more difficult to cover. I'm planning to do a blog just about GreenKonnect in a week or so. I'll let you know when. Hi Jameson,

Thanks for the comment. I wish we could have seen more. I’ll have to figure out a strategy for next year’s event. It keeps getting bigger and more difficult to cover. I’m planning to do a blog just about GreenKonnect in a week or so. I’ll let you know when.

We were stuck at our booth the entire time, so it's nice to see what else was happening. I'm used to attending, not exhibiting. Kevin, thanks for your great coverage of Greenbuild.
