Greenhive

 

 

 

Created specifically to advance the movement of sustainable design and building practices, The Green Hive is an integrated forum/marketplace that promotes community interaction, education, products and a green lifestyle.


Answering a market need

Consumer demand for information and access to green alternatives is growing rapidly. However, presenting this information and access to qualified products and services continues to be the greatest challenge to the growth of this market.

Currently, most green entities exist online and provide a very limited view of what is currently available. The Green Hive fills this void in the marketplace for deep insights and best practices on integrating sustainability into every facet of the community.

A one-stop physical and virtual solution
The Green Hive providing all of the necessary touch points to the process of accessing and embracing sustainable alternatives. In this way, The Green Hive promotes new lifestyle habits and business practices by providing an integrated market forum, for the professional, consumers, and public in the following way:

Helping build a skilled workforce
The Green Hive will also provide a venue for the development of a skilled workforce to meet the overall demand for “green” workforce education and skills. Training for both entry-level and incumbent workers in the design, construction, skilled trades, and the energy industry will be offered.

Targeting specific user groups within the construction industry
The Green Hive will be the link between a growing number of manufacturers and retailers of products, services, and innovative technologies, and the rapidly expanding number of educated eco-minded consumers.
The Green Hive will deliver information, education and training and will be an exhibition space and real marketplace for materials, products and systems required to fulfill the goals, mandates of eco-design, building and living.

Agencies and cities—an integral part of the offering
The Green Hive provides compelling rationale for users in terms of mandate and also incentives. As government driven mandates and incentives continue to grow, The Green Hive is positioned as a bona fide leader to help transform the market.
