LEED Workshops
Each year at Greenbuild, we offer a wide selection of USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) workshops taught by highly qualified LEED Faculty™ and industry experts. These workshops take place before and after the conference education sessions. This year we are also featuring a selection of programs that have been approved through the USGBC Education Provider Program. Take full advantage of your time in Boston and participate in these top-notch educational programs. Choose your learning level, the topic you need, and the schedule you prefer. More detail on each of the programs is located at www.usgbc.org/education.
Our new LEED workshops are debuting at Greenbuild 2008! These courses will offer the first glimpse of our new curriculum to keep in accordance with LEED 2009. Please note that the LEED for New Construction, LEED for Existing Buildings, and LEED for Commercial Interiors Technical Review workshops will continue to be offered through your local chapters through the end of first quarter 2009. These older technical reviews are for those who still wish to prepare for the current LEED AP exams or for those who are currently working on a LEED project. Please refer to www.greenbuild365.org for the most up to date course offerings.
