Please join us for any or all of the following Webinars
Webinar Series: LEED 205: Demand Response
When: September 19, 11:30 am – 1:30pm
Approximately one third of the power grid load is attributable to the building community. Reducing dependency on fossil fuel peak generation address our electric grid infrastructure and reliability needs, acts as a balancing agent for renewable generation and enables the achievement of environmental goals for both the energy and building sectors. Join representatives from USGBC and Environmental Defense Fund as we explore the benefits, barriers and opportunities to demand response in commercial buildings.
This session will be registered for 1.5 hours of LEED Specific (BD+C, ID+C, O+M, HOMES, ND) GBCI hours as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours. (GBCI Category: Project Systems and Energy Impacts)
Webinar Series: LEED 207: LEED Implementation on Campus
When: October 17, 11:30 am – 1:30pm
This webinar will address the unique opportunities and challenges of implementing LEED in a campus setting. Relying on an experienced group of practitioners, the session will address specific applications of LEED within government, commercial real estate and higher education settings. Strategies for identifying campus wide credits and mechanisms for having credits approved by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) will inform participants on best practices across a diverse landscape of campus types.
This session is approved for 1.5 hours of LEED Specific (BD+C and O+M) GBCI hours as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours. (GBCI Category: Stakeholder Involvement in Innovation)
When: November 14, 11:30 am – 1:30pm
New commercial construction is in the doldrums. Instead of constructing new buildings, many real estate professionals see improving and repositioning existing buildings as an opportunity to create value for an organization. How can these professionals maximize building investment and value beyond obvious and simple efficiency improvements with minimal added capital expenditure? By digging deeper with energy retrofits.
Experts from New Buildings Institute, Glenborough Properties, and Rocky Mountain Institute will share real project data, strategies, lessons, business rationale and financial information uncovered in their research and buildings. Hear how investors and owner-occupants successfully implemented deep energy investments in existing buildings, while achieving big energy savings (50 percent!) and increasing the value of their buildings.
This session will be registered for 1.5 hours of General (Not LEED Specific) GBCI hours as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.
Webinar Series: PRACT 204: The Greenest Building: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse
When: December 19th, 11:30 am – 1:30pm
We’ve heard that the greenest building is one that you don’t have to build. A new report by the National Trust for Historic Preservation finds that it can take 10-80 years for a new, energy-efficient building to overcome the negative climate change impacts that were created during the construction process. Where are the intersections with LEED for Existing Building? How does this fit into LEEDv4? Join the conversation on preservation and regeneration when the National Trust and USGBC discuss “The Greenest Building: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse”.
This session will be registered for 1.5 hours of General (Not LEED Specific) GBCI hours as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.
The Cost for each webinar class is: $25 members/ $40 non members
