5th ISMI Symposium on Manufacturing Effectiveness

Short Course: "Understanding LEED^®"

Tuesday, October 21
8AM-5PM
Instructors:
Barry Giles, LEED Faculty, Building Wise, LLC
Thomas Huang, ISMI

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System is a comprehensive design and assessment tool that helps architecture, engineering and construction professionals improve building efficiency and measure the sustainability of their projects. Understanding LEED® is an important step for reducing a building’s environmental impacts and achieving superior economic performance. Architects, engineers, facility managers and building owners who master LEED® concepts and processes become knowledgeable practitioners of sustainable facility design and construction. This full day workshop is great preparation for high-tech facility LEED® projects and will prepare attendees for LEED® Accredited Professional Exam.
