Change was the theme of this year's historic
political election and when it comes to protecting
the economy, the environment, and the public's well
being - change is a necessity. We need to
change the way we build, design and operate our
buildings.
Buildings produce almost half
of the carbon dioxide emitted in the US each year.
They consume 75% of the electricity generated.
The good news is they can do better - a lot better.
LEED certified buildings use 24%-50% less energy,
produce 33%-39% less carbon dioxide, consume 40%
less water, and recycle or reuse 50%-70% of their
solid waste. Come and learn how.
Michael Shilale will describe
why existing buildings are prime opportunities for
reducing carbon emissions and energy use. He
will discuss the LEED-EB rating system and
strategies for implementing improvements in building
systems, water and energy use.
