USGBC Workshop: Getting to LEED Zero Energy & LEED Zero Carbon – Seattle, Feb 24th

February 11, 2020 By SBC staff

Date: February 24, 2020
Time: 12:30-3:00 pm
Location: Smart Buildings Center, 1200 12th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144

Description
How do you take LEED and your high performing building to the next level to mitigate the impacts of climate change?

This new workshop shows you how LEED Zero supports the goals of LEED and expands the verification life-cycle of high performing buildings. It teaches LEED Zero from the why to the what and most importantly, the how.

First, the workshop will review the critical need for action as global climate change and carbon emissions are bringing with them complex human health, environmental and economic challenges. LEED Zero provides a framework for building projects to transition from leadership in design to leadership in performance. LEEDv4.1 is already driving the built environment to higher levels of holistic sustainability performance; LEED v4.1 BD+C certification recognizes buildings designed for leadership; LEED v4.1 O+M certification rewards projects maintaining that leadership during operations. LEED Zero takes this one step further to certify net zero energy, carbon, water and waste performance levels.

Then, diving into the details of LEED Zero, we break down the definitions, key concepts, equations and other requirements to achieve LEED Zero Energy and Carbon Certification. The workshop will explore connections to relevant LEED v4.1 BD+C and O+M prerequisites and credits which set up project teams for the path to LEED Zero. ​

While this workshop focuses on energy and carbon, we briefly introduce LEED Zero Waste and Water certification to recognize other valuable net zero goals. Join us to go from comprehension to action for LEED Zero so you can be part of a global effort to transform the built environment in the era of climate change.

GBCI Credit: 3 CE hours (LEED-specific BD+C and O+M), Intermediate level
