Alison Kinn Bennett is Co-Chair of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Green Building Workgroup and founding member of
EPA's Sustainable Products Network. Alison began her federal career in
EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics in 1997 working on
environmental management system standards and serving on the President's
Council for Sustainable Development Environmental Management Taskforce.
Since 2001, Alison has served as the Building Projects Manager for EPA's
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program, focusing her efforts on
developing comprehensive EPA positions on standards and specifications
for greener building products and construction services. In this role,
Alison is developing the Federal Green Construction Guide for Specifiers
on the Whole Building Design Guide and sustainability standards within
ASTM and NSF International. Alison co-chaired two seminal
sustainability standards events in the past few years: ASTM's First
International Symposium on "Common Ground, Consensus Building, and
Continual Improvement: Standards and Sustainable Building" (April 2007)
and the American National Standards Institute Workshop "Toward Product
Standards for Sustainability" (April 2009). Alison serves as Vice Chair
of ASTM International's Sustainability Committee (E60). Alison earned
Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and Geography from the University
of California at Berkeley and a Masters in Urban and Environmental
Planning from the University of Virginia School of Architecture.
Anthony Bernheim, FAIA, LEED® AP, BD+C, Sustainability Principal, AECOM, has been developing sustainable building practices for over twenty-five years. A specialist in
integrated building practices and a pioneer in indoor air quality, his work has profoundly influenced the design profession and the building industry. Mr. Bernheim's designs improve a project's long-term sustainability and indoor air quality through an integrated, whole systems building approach informed by practical experience based on current technology
and research.
Sarah Billington joined the Faculty at Stanford University in 2003. Prof. Billington's research focuses on sustainable, durable construction materials and their application to structures and construction. Two current areas of focus are damage-tolerant, high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite materials, and bio-based fiber-reinforced polymeric composites that have a closed loop life-cycle. Prof. Billington received her B.S.E. with high honors from Princeton University, and her M.S. and Ph.D in structural engineering from the University of Texas in Austin.
Arlene Blum is the Founder and Executive Director of the Green Science Policy Institute. Blum is a biophysical chemist, visiting scholar at UC Berkeley's Department of Chemistry , and author of Annapurna: A Woman's Place and Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life. Blum's research contributed to the regulation of two cancer-causing flame retardants used in children's sleepwear in the 1970s, and prevented unnecessary flammability standards that would have led to the use of hundreds of millions of pounds of persistent toxic chemicals each year. Dr. Blum was selected by the National Women's History Project as one of 100 "Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet," received the Society of Women Geographers' Gold Medal, and a top Purpose Prize from Civic Ventures.

He is also recipient of the Passive Solar Pioneer Award from the American Solar Energy Society, the Herrin Distinguished Fellow from Mississippi State University, the Presidential Team Award for the sustainable relocation of towns displaced by the Mississippi Flood, and the National Center for Appropriate Technology's 15th Year Distinguished Appropriate Technology Award, recognizing significant work in the field of environmental protection. Pliny's special contributions in the research field have been principally in materials and methods; from low-cost building systems development referred to as open building, to wide ranging material development that includes low carbon and carbon balanced cements, and many other low impact materials. He was instrumental in developing the first input/output life cycle assessment model for material flow in the U.S. and connecting this to a Geographic Information System, so that human activities can be placed into the context of natural systems on a national scale. The model represents greenhouse gases, criteria air pollutants and toxic releases of over 12,500,000 businesses. He has also developed an alternative land planning and design methodology referred to as Eco- Balance Design and Planning. Pliny received B.Arch., M.Arch., and M.L.Arch. Degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.

Anil Netravali After obtaining Ph.D. from North Carolina State University in 1984 Dr. Netravali joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University as a postdoctoral associate. In 1985 he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering as a research associate. In August of 1987 he joined the Department of Fiber Science and Apparel Design in the Fiber Science Program as an assistant professor. His main research is to develop fully sustainable and biodegradable, environment-friendly Green Composites that can be used in place of petroleum based conventional composites. Green composites are made using plant-based fibers and resins that are carbon-neutral and can be easily disposed of or composted at the end of their life. In the past few years, his research group has made significant progress in developing plant-based green resins, e.g. soy protein and starch, with excellent mechanical and physical properties; in some cases, better than commonly used epoxies.
