RI USGBC course Sept. 30

Warwick, RI The Rhode Island USGBC chapter will host BD&C 301: Implementing the Building Design + Construction LEED Rating System on Sept. 30, 2010, 8:30am - 5:00pm in the student lounge of the New England Institute of Tech., 2480 Post Rd.

Learn how to apply the LEED BD+C rating systems, using LEED for New Construction as the focus, to a real project by walking through the phases of a typical project and the key decisions that project teams must make, including key stakeholder considerations. Engage with experienced LEED faculty and other participants in interactive activities using case examples that enable you to work hands-on with LEED implementation strategies and rating system tools, including project forms from LEED onlinev3. Emphasis is placed on LEED 209 for New Construction & Major Renovations, but those working on older versions of LEED can apply what they learn. BD+C 251 of BD+C 252 is recommended prior to taking this course.
