Presented by the USGBC, Sponsored by ACI

Saturday, March 14, 2009; 8:30 am -5:00 pm
Marriot Rivercenter, San Antonio, TX
(in conjunction with the ACI convention)

Instructor: Paul H. Goldsmith, AIA, NCARB

The demand for green buildings that save money while protecting the environment and occupant health continues to increase. The USGBC’s LEED Rating System™ is the nationally recognized rating system for green buildings, and LEED is already being used in all 50 states. In the company of other concrete industry professionals, this full-day workshop will educate you on LEED credits and intents, and how all members of the project team can contribute to its LEED certification. After attending this course, you will be aware of the changes to credits, pre-requisites, and points in LEED 3.0; and understand the role that concrete can play in earning LEED points.

If you are interested in becoming a LEED AP, this workshop will also help prepare you for the LEED Professional Accreditation Exam based on LEED for New Construction v2.2. (Please note that USGBC plans to end registration for the current version of the LEED AP exam on March 31, 2009, with exams running through spring/summer 2009. Now is the perfect time to earn your LEED AP designation before the requirements change.)
