ISH North America 2008 announced its
efficient technologies and renewable energy-focused seminar track is structured
to educate professionals on the growing use of green applications within their
field.
“Our participants are members of an industry whose
greatest opportunity lies in the renewable energy and sustainability segment,”

Frankfurt, the show’s organizer. “This ISH NA seminar track seeks to turn these
opportunities into areas of success for our attendees.”
