Session 8 – October 21, 2011 @ 12:00 PM
Energy Consumption & EA C1: Top 10 Energy Efficiency Measures for Load Reduction
The first step for reducing energy consumption of a building is to reduce the energy loads on the building. Consideration of load reduction techniques early in the design phase often comes at low or no added cost. During this webinar you will learn about best practices and top 10 strategies to reduce the energy loads on buildings. The session will highlight energy simulation as a design tool and key to successfully implementing EA Credit 1. The webinar will feature commercial building projects certified under the LEED for New Construction rating system.
Session 9 – November 18, 2011 @ 12:00 PM
Renewable Energy & EA Credits 1 and 2: Top 5 Strategies to Meet Energy Demand
On-site renewable energy is the cleanest source of meeting energy demands of the building. Consideration given to designing on-siterenewable systems during the design phase can optimize the performance of the system. During this webinar you will learn about bestpractices and top 5/10 strategies to design on-site renewable energy systems. The session will highlight various design tools and keys to successfully implementing EA Credit 1 and EA Credit 2. The webinar will feature commercial building projects certified underthe LEED for New Construction rating system.
Session 10 – December 16, 2011 @ 12:00 PM
IEQ Prerequisite 1: Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
As project teams attempt to achieve the requirements of IEQp1, they often encounter common issues surrounding calculations and documentation. This session will provide strategies for HVAC design professionals to overcome these obstacles in LEED projects and successfully meet the minimum indoor air quality requirements set by ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 and IEQp1 in multiple building types.

Help Create the Next Natural Talent Design Competition!
February 21, 2011
USGBC wants you to create the next design challenge for the 2012 NTDC! USGBC will be bringing together some of green building’s leading thinkers for a visioning charrette in late March, and we want ideas from the USGBC Community to spur the discussion. And just to sweeten the deal, the person who submits the best idea will get to participate in the charrette! Click here for more information.
