LEEDv4 – What’s in it for Engineers?

(1 PDH)

While the phaseout of LEEDv2009 may have been delayed, LEEDv4 is here to stay. USBGC has raised the bar on what it means to be a “sustainable” building. Stanton Stafford and John McFarland will present the changes that are most relevant to engineers (mechanical, plumbing and yes even electrical). Some of the changes are pretty cool… for engineers at least.

To attain accurate catering counts, please register for this event in advance. Day-of and on site registration will result in an increased cost of $20.
