In April 2025, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) launched LEED v5, the latest version of the LEED green building program. Join this free, 1-hour interactive lunchtime webinar to help your team understand the key updates, strategies, and certification pathways, especially those that align with the MA energy codes, to navigate LEED v5 with clarity and confidence.
Join the BE+ Carbon and Energy Roundtable, a venue for architects, designers, construction managers, and sustainability professionals to discuss issues related to carbon and energy in buildings.
Join the BE+ Health and Wellness Roundtable, a venue for architects, designers, construction managers, and sustainability professionals to discuss issues related to healthy buildings.
This course covers the 225 CMR 23.00 MA Commercial Stretch and Opt-in Specialized energy codes applicable from July 1, 2023 and including February 2025 updates. The presentation encompasses the different pathways available for code compliance, requirements for each section (envelope, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical), and an overview of how the different components work together. Participants will also learn how the Fossil Fuel Free Pilot communities program may use the Stretch Code as a tool to help meet building performance and electrification goals. This course is intended for all building industry professionals, including but not limited to architects, engineers, consultants, modelers, developers, owners, and contractors.
This two-part training is intended for new construction and existing building alterations and additions following the 225 CMR 23.00 Commercial Stretch Energy Code. Case studies and real-world calculation examples will reinforce key concepts, and attendees will apply their knowledge through hands-on exercises with a sample project.
The training will review the method and best practices of conducting a Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI) model as required for compliance with the Stretch Energy Code. Case studies and lessons learned from permitted buildings will be used to demonstrate model results and balance adjustments to design through the design process to reach a final compliant model.
In this workshop, participants will learn key product sustainability metrics and how to identify products and materials that are better for the environment and building occupants. The workshop will highlight the trends and the tools available to find and select healthier products, including: Health Product Declarations (HPDs), Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), transparency, Declare labels, Cradle to Cradle certification, low-emitting materials, and low-embodied-carbon materials.
Are you planning to earn your LEED Green Associate professional credential? Join this training to kickstart or enhance your study process. The curriculum is designed to cover the segments of the Green Associate Exam and to lightly cover the AP specialty exams. It will be a fast-paced class for real estate professionals, architects, engineers, and anyone else interested in green building practices and LEED. The majority of attendees have little previous knowledge of the LEED rating system, green building operations and green building construction.
About the TrainingThis course provides an overview of the WELL Building Standard ideology, structure, and certification process. Participants will learn the medical basis for the seven concept categories, including: Air, […]
Are you planning to earn your LEED AP Building Design & Construction professional credential? Join this training to kickstart or enhance your study process. With this LEED AP Building Design and Construction training, you will learn the requirements and calculations required for the following LEED credits: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality.
In this course for building industry professionals, you will learn the promise and pitfalls of LCA and EPDs, understand the categories of impact included in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) process, and examine the boundaries of those processes - what is included and what is not part of the process. The session will compare LCA categories with the Common Materials Framework defined by mindfulMaterials and consider the history of political debate that surrounds LCA of building materials with added focus on impacts that lie outside of the LCA process.
Join us for an on-site building tour of Foundation Medicine (FMI). The project earned LEED-CI Platinum certification, and the design team incorporated abundant health and wellness strategies. After the tour, we will gather for some drinks, networking, and fun!
