Webinar LEED 250:Strategies and Certification - LIVE Speaker (28 May 2013)

Tue, 28 May 2013 22:00:00 GMT

LEED 250:

LEED INNOVATIONS

and PILOT CREDITS

What is beyond LEED, and what may be coming next? The answer to this question may reside within Innovation and Pilot credits. Innovation credits provide the opportunity to achieve credit for exceptional performance above the requirements set by LEED or innovative performance in Green Building categories not specifically addressed by the LEED Green Building Rating System. LEED Pilot Credits may be used as “innovation”, but also inform the continued evolution of LEED. This webinar series explores Innovation & Pilot credits in-depth, illuminating best practices for documentation and tried-and-true ways to achieve credit outside of the LEED box.

The Series specific topics include:

STRATEGIES & CERTIFICATION May 28

ASHRAE 189 and LEED Compliment or Conflict? + Tour (29 May 2013)

Wed, 29 May 2013 21:00:00 GMT

ASHRAE 189 and LEED ‐ Compliment or Conflict?

Presentation and tour.

Discuss one of the first successful VRF systems in an office

building. Includes tour of newly awarded LEED Silver Building, Centerpoint CT

In January 2010 a new standard for sustainability was released

by ASHRAE, Standard 189.1. Like ASHRAE Standard 90.1, this

standard will likely be adopted into building codes around the

country since it is written in code enforceable language. Since this standard is very similar to the LEED ratings, the question becomes how does this impact LEED®? Will LEED®

ratings change or disappear? How are the LEED® requirements

and ASHRAE Standard 189 requirements similar and how are they

different? This seminar will address how ASHRAE Standard 189.1

and LEED® are likely to be used in the marketplace and where requirements are the same and how they are different. It is

anticipated that this standard will begin showing up in building codes

in the near future and it is imperative that engineers and designers understand how these two important documents interact. Topics in

this workshop include site selection, building envelope construction,

water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials impact, and indoor air quality. A basic understanding of the LEED® rating system and ASHRAE 90.1 are assumed for this presentation.

This is a free event for Connecticut hospitals, nursing homes and other health care facilities and CTGBC members and non-members. It is sponsored by CT DEEP, CT GBC Healthcare Committee and CCMC.

· Find out just what CT Children's Medical Center and a nursing home facility are doing to cut waste and their bottom line.
· Hear from Practice Green Health, the healthcare sector's go-to source for information, tools, resources and expert technical support on sustainability

There is no cost for this event, but please register at www.ctgbc.org .
