If you have specific questions regarding a specialty exam\, feel free to bring these questions to class and the instructor will cover these identified areas. \nThis is a fast-paced class for real estate professionals\, architects\, engineers\, students\, and anyone 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. Upon completion of the class\, employees will be eligible to sit for the LEED Green Associate exam at a local testing center. Please note that the national office has lowered their student rate to $100–read more at usbgc.org. By passing the exam\, employees will earn the LEED Green Associate credential. \nThe course is divided into the following\, one-hour long sessions: \n\nIntroduction – This section will explain the LEED Green Associate credentialing process and serve as an introduction to LEED\, sustainability\, the USGBC\, the GBCI\, and the LEED rating system.\nLocation and Transportation / Sustainable Sites – Topics include site issues such as connectivity\, transportation\, erosion\, landscaping\, and heat island effect.\nWater Efficiency / Energy and Atmosphere – Topics include water issues (plumbing efficiency\, irrigation\, process water\, etc.) and energy and atmosphere issues (demand\, efficiency\, renewable energy\, ozone-depleting substances\, etc.).\nMaterials and Resources – Topics include procurement and waste diversion.\nIndoor Environmental Quality – Topics include indoor environmental quality issues such as occupant comfort and green cleaning.\nInnovation / Regional Priority / Certification Process – This section will explain the LEED certification process\, as well as the Innovation and Regional Priority categories.\nExam Review – Discussion of exam format and registration and sample exam questions.\nExam Review – Reviewing sample exam questions.\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 \n This course is now funded through the Commonwealth Workforce Training Fund’s Small Business Direct Access Program (SBDAP). If you are a small\, Massachusetts-based business that employs 100 people or less\, you and your employees may be eligible to take this training session for free!

The implications of embodied and operational carbon in the built environment water cycle will be addressed. Case studies to be included in this third workshop will include thermal extraction of water from reuse water in Manhattan. Additional case studies may include geothermal and extraction of thermal energy from sewers are still underdevelopment and will be announced as the workshop is refined. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SPECIAL PROMOTION\nEarly Bird Series PackageRegister for all three courses\,get one FREE! \nFind this deal in the registration window below \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Meet the Speakers\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 Sheng ChuSenior Project Engineer  | Natural Systems Utilities\nSheng Chu is a Senior Project Engineer at Natural Systems Utilities \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 Michael RedfearnSenior Vice President | Homeyer Consulting Services\, Inc. \nMichael is a Marine Engineer with 30 years of experience in the specialty chemical industry for treated water systems.  He has worked as an independent water consultant with Homeyer Consulting Services for 25 years and is responsible for Managing 12 Field Consultants in the New York through Mid-Atlantic Region.
