For each prerequisite and credit\, intents\, requirements\, and strategies are reviewed. In addition\, a case study example of a project that has been particularly successful with the Site Design – Water section of the SITES v2 rating system is shown.\nIn addition to this series\, there are several resources available for the SITES v2 rating system\, including the text of the rating system itself\, a credit scorecard\, and a Reference Guide. Both the rating system and scorecard can be downloaded for free. The reference guide is available for purchase. We recommend you access these for reference\, as needed\, throughout this series.\nFor discussion questions\, related activities and additional resources to support this series\, check out the Instructor Guide.\nNote: This series as a whole is approved for 7 PDHs with LA CES.

SUMMARY:Worcester Presinar: From Asphalt to Green Infrastructure: Transforming Surface Parking
DESCRIPTION:Join Us\nJoin the Central Massachusetts USGBC community for an evening of green building exploration and discussion. At the Sustainability Hub\, watch the following webinar and discuss your practice and experience with those in the room as it relates to the webinar. RSVP for us to save you a seat at the Sustainability Hub’s viewing room. Thank you for supporting the mission and community in Central Massachusetts!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGBCI: 0920010816\nThis archived webinar highlights innovations in sustainability practices organizations can implement for surface lots and greening the neighboring community. In the United States\, 4 million acres of land has been cleared to create 400 million parking spaces. Conventional parking lot designs create a host of problems for cities and the environment including water pollution\, heat island\, air quality issues and compared with buildings\, lots have received very little design innovation. Looking at parking lot design in a new light allows an organization to take advantage of sustainable innovations.\n\nAbout\n\n\n\n\n\nAn evolution in parking lot design is upon us to harness the massive potential of these vast open spaces in our cities and communities. Through the use of solar canopies\, a parking space can generate enough electricity to power an electric vehicle for 9\,000 miles per year. A single tree can clean the contaminants out of the water that runs off from four parking spaces. Permeable pavements and bioswales can retain and manage stormwater surges which protect the local water shed and save energy. Review this archived webinar to learn how your organization can save money and enhance your sustainable actions. This course offers three case studies each demonstrating ROI from implementing sustainable practices.\nLike what you see?

SUMMARY:Worcester Presinar: Buildingomics: The Holistic Impact of Working in a Green Certified Building on Cognitive Function
DESCRIPTION:Join Us\nJoin the Central Massachusetts USGBC community for an evening of green building exploration and discussion. At the Sustainability Hub\, watch the following webinar and discuss your practice and experience with those in the room as it relates to the webinar. RSVP for us to save you a seat at the Sustainability Hub’s viewing room. Thank you for supporting the mission and community in Central Massachusetts!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGBCI: 0920011992\n\nAbout\nThe health and productivity benefits of Green buildings are becoming increasingly well understood\, particularly in light of The CogFx Study\, which demonstrated the impact of Green buildings and enhanced ventilation on cognitive function. This presentation takes these findings from the lab to the real-world. 10 buildings from around the U.S. were recruited to participate in a week-long building assessment survey. In each building\, 12 participants completed daily health surveys and cognitive tests. We will highlight the elements of building design\, operation and maintenance in green certified and non-certified buildings that result in cognitive and health improvements\, and introduce the concept of “buildingomics”\, a holistic approach to examining the complexity of factors in a building that influence human health. Lastly\, this session will answer some of the common questions building practitioners face: what are the building factors that influence health and productivity\, what is the evidence supporting these relationships\, and what can my business do to optimize these factors for health?\nLike what you see?
