| "COSC's 'Building a Sustainable Iowa' training has been invaluable to our team. Our design, sales and production managers attended the workshop and use the knowledge we gained about energy efficiency every day. We have found it such a benefit that we are sending our draftsmen and project managers to the workshop this year." |

| "I have never attended a workshop so packed with useful information. Understanding how buildings work is critical to my
business. Knowing how and where the industry will inevitibly go is part of my own continuing education. I'd urge any
real estate agent whether you work with new construction, resales or buyers to take the time to attend this conference. Knowledge is power and you will come out of this workshop with more power than anything you've learned in a long time." |

| "While attending the 'Building a Sustainable Iowa' Workshop I was provided with the tools I needed to raise awareness of concerns regarding environmental degredation related to traditional building practices as well as obtaining valuable information regarding green building - information which I use to assist my business, organizational and industrial clients to implement building policies and strategies that sustain both the environment and their budgets." |
