*For those unable to join us in person, a virtual only registration option is available which will give registrants access to a limited offering of sessions (6 predetermined workshops + the 2 general sessions). These recordings will be available post-conference only, until July 28, 2022. All of the recorded presentations are eligible for AIA and BPI CEUs for those who are current members of these accrediting organizations; viewing the recording then successfully completing a post-session quiz is required by AIA and BPI in order to receive credit. Full conference in person registrants will also have access to these recordings post-conference. Review the schedule to see which presentations will be available to virtual only registrants.

Presenter Registration:

• Free for the day you present
• $162.50 to attend the day you are not presenting
• If you are presenting more than once, are delivering an extended presentation (3 hours), or are a keynote or plenary presenter, full conference registration is complimentary.

Group Registration Opportunity:

Buy four registrations (at full price), and the fifth one is free (the lowest price registrant will be the free one). Please note: this offer cannot be combined with any other discount including Speakers, Sponsor/Exhibitor Reps, and EEN Members. To take advantage of this opportunity, print and send the completed Group Registration Form to [email protected] to receive the free registration. If you have already registered and paid for multiple attendees and would like to see if you are eligible for a "fifth registrant free", please email the request and list of names of your registered staff, to [email protected].

Conference Postponement Cancellation and Refund Policy:

All attendee registrations received by January 7, 2022 will automatically be transferred to the April 2022 conference. Attendees may request a full refund by January 21, 2022; no cancellation fee will apply. After January 21, refunds less a $50 admin fee will be processed up until April 18, 2022. After April 18, 2022, only substitutions will be accepted. To request a refund, please email [email protected].

Changing Registration Type:

​In person registrations may be converted to virtual attendance prior to April 11 with a refund provided reflecting the registration rate difference. However, after April 11, no refund of the rate difference can be provided and changes may not be made given that supplies and food will be ordered at that time for our in person attendees. Requests received after April 11 from individuals with extenuating circumstances will be handled on a case by case basis.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: BBD POSTPONED UNTIL APRIL 27th & 28th

As of April 4, 2022:

With the decline in COVID cases in Vermont and recent updates to state and local guidance, Efficiency Vermont is no longer requiring proof of vaccination status or negative test results at the Better Buildings By Design Conference. Additionally, masks will be optional throughout the event.

We do ask that if you experience COVID symptoms while you are at the conference, please remove yourself from the event spaces and follow doctor recommendations.

Efficiency Vermont will continue to monitor statewide and local COVID transmission rates and will modify this guidance if needed.

Traveling and attending events with a large number of attendees during the COVID-19 pandemic places individuals at risk. Attendees who participate in person will be participating at their own risk. Neither Efficiency Vermont, Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, nor Delaney Meeting & Event Management will be liable should an attendee contract COVID-19 while participating in or traveling to the Better Buildings by Design Conference in South Burlington, Vermont.
