SUMMARY:Specifying Healthier Materials Beyond Checking Boxes
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: designLAB architects\n			\n				Learn About the Series\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the TrainingSpecifying materials that meet LEED v4 and v4.1 requirements has gotten easier. However\, many projects stop at just meeting these requirements\, when we could be doing much better. The course will provide information on specifying products and materials that are Living Building Challenge red list free\, avoiding chemicals of concern from the Six Classes\, specifying products with transparency labels\, and finding healthier products through third-party certifications and publicly available databases. This course is intended for building industry professionals. It can be held virtually or in-person and is a combination of presentation and discussion. \nThis is the seventh session of the Materials Matter: Embodied Carbon & The Path to Healthier Buildings training series. Join the series to explore the connections between climate\, human health\, and the circular economy—transforming the way we design and build for a better future. \nRefund PolicyFull refunds are available only if written notice is provided 7 days prior to course start date. There will be no refund if less than one week’s notice is given. Please note: Full refunds will be issued less the standard processing fee. In general\, rescheduling is always preferred over refunds. Registration transfers are only allowed for rescheduling to a future training and cannot be transferred between individuals. \nThis training is eligible for 2 AIA LU / HSW continuing education credits. AIA membership information will be collected from attendees by BE+ during the training. \nThis is a live\, online training led by Lisa Goodwin Robbins with Kalin Associates\, and Carrie Havey with The Green Engineer. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Carrie Havey\, LEED Fellow\, has been with The Green Engineer since 2010. Carrie’s expertise resides in facilitating workshops and collaborating with project teams to provide sustainable design advice and LEED guidance at every stage of a project. She is skilled in overseeing projects that need to meet sustainable design regulatory requirements\, such as MSBA or Article 37 in Boston. She has experience on a wide range of project types\, including higher education facilities\, k-12 schools\, labs\, multi-family residential\, municipal buildings\, and commercial interiors. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Lisa Goodwin Robbins\, RA\, CCS\, LEED\, is a registered architect\, CSI-certified construction specifier\, and LEED-accredited professional with more than 20 years experience in specification writing\, with a focus on projects seeking LBC\, LEED\, and WELL certifications. She helps other Architects\, both designer types and project managers\, be green\, solve problems\, and get their projects built. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\n				1. Articulate the value of using healthier materials and educate clients and team members about healthier materials goals. 2. Prioritize healthier materials’ importance to you\, your firm\, and your owners.3. Optimize product searching and product selection using databases and the Common Materials Framework.  4. Translate sustainability goals into specification language. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funding Grants Available: Submit by October 23rd\, 2025\n				The Express Grant is designed to help businesses respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged. With bite-size grants for just-in-time training and no waiting periods between grants\, the Express program is the Workforce Training Fund’s fastest path to funding.You could take this training for FREE.

SUMMARY:Applied Strategies for Carbon Emission Reduction
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: designLAB architects\n			\n				Learn About the Series\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Training \nBuilding on the foundational knowledge of carbon emissions in the built environment\, this course focuses on practical applications in design and construction practice. Participants will learn how to set carbon reduction goals\, define key success metrics\, and integrate carbon analysis into their workflows. The course will cover methodologies for conducting carbon assessments\, available tools and databases for embodied carbon analysis\, and strategies for aligning procurement decisions with emissions reduction goals. Case studies and facilitated discussions will help participants identify barriers and opportunities within their own practice\, ensuring they leave with a clear\, actionable plan for implementing carbon reduction strategies in their projects. \nThis is the eighth session of the Materials Matter: Embodied Carbon & The Path to Healthier Buildings training series.
