SUMMARY
Buildings play a critical role in protecting and improving our environment and the health of the people who occupy them. The most dramatic effects come from the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), which can reduce far more emissions than they generate, through both revolutionary breakthroughs and simple adjustments. The role of ICT is a consistent thread throughout Greenbuild, from new teaching tools and performance measurements, through interactive technologies, real-time response, and the vast array of ICT tools that support the design and deployment of energy and environmental solutions.
Foley Hoag Partner Mark Barnet will deliver the welcome address.

SUMMARYLast year, Massachusetts enacted a comprehensive data security law intended to protect residents from identity theft.

Recent regulations impose significant compliance obligations on all employers and require action by the beginning of the year.
