Track 4: Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED®)
LEED® is quickly becoming the standard for new construction – and LEED® scoring for “Existing Buildings” is now so popular that nearly every building manager needs to become aware of LEED® audit and scoring principles. Architects, engineers, planners, consultants and technicians of all kinds are finding that they “need” an understanding of and/or LEED® accreditation to meet their customers’ demands – and certainly it is a significant job niche!
