Strategies and Certification
Part 1 of 4

What is beyond LEED, and what may be coming next? The answer to this question may reside within Innovation and Pilot credit – both of which are introduced in this first webinar in the “LEED Innovation & Pilot Credits” series. Innovation credits provide the opportunity to achieve credit for exceptional performance above the requirements set by LEED or innovative performance in Green Building categories not specifically addressed by the LEED Green Building Rating System. LEED Pilot Credits may be used as “innovation”, but also inform the continued evolution of LEED. Pilot credits are refined through LEED project evaluations before they complete the balloting process for introduction into LEED. This series of education will introduce the criteria and certification process for Innovation & Pilot credits.

This session is registered for 1.5 hours of LEED Specific (BD+C, ID+C, O+M, HOMES, ND) GBCI hours as well as 1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD hours.

This is a webinar Viewing. Remote access is not available at this time. Feel free to bring your lunch.
