the good, the bad, and the ugly of materials choices

Thursday May 17th
Where: Ringling College Academic Building
(LEED CERTIFIED)
2700 N. Tamiami Trail Sarasota, FL 34234

CEUs- available 1
Designers course # 8700
Architects # SC0730
LEED AP # 0090004440

This course takes a look at several materials and finishes that we come across every day in our lives. On the surface -they can be beautiful, soft, and inspiring -but the key is to understand the story beneath. What makes the leather so soft? What's used in the manufacture of that beautiful polished chrome? And hopefully as we go through each of the materials, it will inspire others to begin to ask some important questions -in both our personal and professional lives -and demand alternatives that are better for people and better for the planet.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Explain the environmental impact of common materials and how we are exposed
Polished Chrome
PVC and Phthalates
BrominatedFlame Retardants
Pesticides and Insecticides
Stain Resistors and Non-stick Coatings
Promote safe alternatives and encourage awareness
Identify where these materials may exist and how we are exposed
Identify ways to influence change

Numbers, Know How and Navigating LEED in Affordable Housing: Financing Green Multifamily Retrofits

Even if every new construction residential project built this year was green, that would still only impact 1% of our housing stock. The way to make a meaningful impact throughout the residential sector is to retrofit our existing buildings. Multifamily retrofits couple the inherent greenness of improving an existing building with high density smart development. However, in the affordable housing sector, financing is critical and holds the keys to any development project.

This session will highlight the financing tools used to achieve green improvements in existing affordable housing developments. Tools highlighted in this session will include creating an energy efficiency‐based utility allowance (EEBUA) through a local housing authority, building green alternatives into an existing capital needs assessment, and creating partnerships to expand and document improved health outcomes. In addition to useful case studies, this session will direct participants to specific resources that can help implement these improvements locally.

This session is approved for 1.5 hours of General (Not LEED Specific) GBCI hours in 1 Project Surrounding and Public Outreach, .5 Synergistic Opp as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW hours.

Bring your dinner with you, relax and listen into the webcast.

The Evolution of LEED: Insights into Rating System Updates: Weightings, Part 2: Results of Point Allocation

What positive impacts do you want your LEED projects to accomplish? What is your strategy to gain more points? The good news is: these two desires are not mutually exclusive. In part two of “Evolution of LEED: Weightings”, the results of the weightings process on point allocation and the evolution of LEED is explained.

We explore the rationale behind key priorities driving rating system development and analyze the impact of weightings on global issues such as climate change, human health, economics and resource use and more. Top credits across each impact category and credit category will be explored to paint a clear picture of how the weightings process works and what the implications it will have on professional practice.

This session is approved for 1.5 hours of LEED Specific (BD+C, ID+C, O+M, HOMES, ND) GBCI hours in Stakeholder Involvement in Innovation as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.

The Evolution of LEED: Insights into Rating System Updates: Weightings, Part 1: Process and Methods

Would you rather “do less harm”, or “do more good”? This fundamental question is the basis of LEED’s evolution. In LEED 2009, credit weightings were based on the EPA’s TRACI list to minimize negative environmental impacts. As LEED evolves, we flip the approach on its head by aligning credits directly with positive global outcomes. In the first of this two-part webinar, learn the process behind how key priorities drive current and future development of LEED. Impact categories, prioritization, credit weightings, and point allocation will all be discussed in depth. Upon completion of this webinar session, attendees will be able to summarize how LEED points are given different allocations and how those allocations evolve with LEED.

This session is approved for 1.5 hours of LEED Specific (BD+C, ID+C, O+M, Homes and ND) GBCI hours toward Stakeholder Involvement in Innovation as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.

BD+C 255: Building & Material Reuse: Understanding the Challenges, Celebrating the Success

The LEED credits related to building reuse (Materials & Resources Credits 1.1 and 1.2) and material reuse (Materials & Resources Credits 3.1 and 3.2) are some of the least utilized credits within the rating system. In a time of increasingly limited resources and a growing awareness around sustainable stewardship, however, building and material reuse represents one of the ultimate forms of resource conservation. The reuse of existing built fabric can be economically pragmatic, nurture communities, and provide vision of how to live more sustainably.

Join USGBC for this exciting webinar session, addressing reuse and credit challenges and opportunities, innovative tools and resources available, and strategies to utilize reuse as a vehicle for creativity and sustainability. Upon completion of this webinar session, attendees will gain a greater understanding of how to integrate building and material reuse into their projects and useful strategies for navigating the related LEED credits.

This session is approved for 1.5 hours of LEED Specific (BD+C) GBCI hours in Acquisition Installation and Management of Project Materials as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.

LEED 258: MPR6 Performance Monitoring and BPP

Looking for tools for understanding how your building is performing? As part of the LEED 2009 Minimum Program Requirements, MPR6 requires all buildings registered under the LEED 2009 rating systems to track and share whole-building energy and water usage data for at least 5 years. USGBC’s Building Performance Partnership (BPP) provides a pathway for meeting MPR6, while simultaneously providing LEED building owners and managers with critical data and analysis for optimizing building performance. This session will explore the challenges involved with performance tracking and provide you with tools and resources to overcome these obstacles. Join as we explore how involvement in BPP can help you achieve success in LEED and transform the way you approach building performance monitoring.

The Evolution of LEED-Insights into Rating System Updates- Regionalization

Since 2009, LEED has awarded extra points to projects that achieve specific credits that address the unique environmental priorities of an area. These Regional Priority credits (RPCs) are existing LEED credits selected from the entire LEED rating system and given priority status. This webinar session will explore the process by which USGBC collaborates with its chapter volunteers to select RPCs, highlight opportunities for involvement and discuss key updates in the process from LEED 2009 to LEED 2012.

This session is approved for 1.5 hours of LEED Specific (BD+C, ID+C, O+M, HOMES, ND) GBCI hours in Stakeholder Involvement in Innovation as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.

Homes - Numbers, Know How and Navigating LEED in Affordable Housing: LEED Certified Affordable Housing: It gets better every time

50% of projects certified under the LEED for Homes program are classified as affordable housing projects. This shows that affordability and green is not only feasible, but goes hand in hand.

Flexibility of LEED is one of its strengths; the possibilities exist for project teams to pursue credits and points that are less cost-effective than others. We’ll be discussing those credits that deliver maximum financial and health benefits to occupants, allowing project teams to make more educated decisions in the pursuit of LEED. You will learn the benefits, challenges and lessons learned directly from teams who have implemented LEED on a series of affordable housing developments. Presenters will walk you through their very own learning curves, helping you make the more cost-effective, impactful decisions the first time.

This session is approved for 1.5 hours of General (Not LEED Specific) GBCI hours in 1 Synergistic Opportunities and LEED Application Process and .5 Stakeholder Involvement in Innovation as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.
