Location : Bucharest, RoGBC office
From: Friday 18 March 2011, 00:00
To: Friday 18 March 2011, 00:00
  • LEED workshop

Green Building Certifications: The Romania Green Building Council supports the development and implementation of the World Green Building Council national members with internationally recognized rating tools (LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, etc). RoGBC is also partner with USGBC assisting to internationalize the LEED rating tool to facilitate its use in Romania and the region. RoGBC member company Triple Green Building Group, a USGBC-approved Education Delivery Partner, will offer a low-cost series of two LEED workshops.

This workshop is a great overall course about LEED and good prep for the Green Associate Exam. It is intended for anyone who wants more than a basic understanding of LEED - including those with a stake in their company's or community's building practices, those directly involved in green building projects, and those pursuing GBCI's LEED Green Associate credential. The workshop provides essential knowledge of sustainable building concepts that are fundamental to all LEED Rating Systems. It begins with a brief background on the U.S. Green Building Council and LEED, including basics of the building certification process. The core of the workshop presents LEED intents and concepts at the credit category level - across building types and rating systems. Key LEED metrics and LEED referenced standards are addressed throughout the workshop.

Semnificative discounts are available for registration before March 10

LEED is a third-party certification program and an accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
