Speaker: Erica Paul- LEED® Accredited Professional, Rosendin Electric, Inc.

Date: Friday, October 21, 2011

Description:

LEED projects are rapidly moving into the building mainstream. Successful contractors have fundamental “know how” to navigate this rapidly evolving market drive.  This workshop will provide the fundamentals of LEED.
Key issues and questions you should be asking will be discussed as well as strategies for understanding how you can add value to a LEED project. You have just been awarded a new project with LEED requirements, what will be your approach? Did you estimate it as a LEED project? What does that have to do with Electrical? What are these different LEED ratings? What are your responsibilities as the electrical contractor? What will the General Contractor be holding you accountable for? How do you earn the points you have been assigned? Where do you start?
