LEED Therapy - Pursuing High-Performance Operations While Managing the Pain

SPEAKER: Jenny Carney, YR&G

Implementing green operations practices like integrated pest management, optimized air quality and energy efficiency will lead to a better, healthier and more efficient building.  However, it also means working with a wide range of people and  an evolving rating system that isn’t always optimized for real world pragmatism. This session will discuss where we are in the evolution of sustainability in buildings and our trajectory for coming years, using various anecdotes and case studies from projects pursuing sustainable operations. Learn how LEED and other sustainability pursuits are shaping our awareness and approach as we move towards implementing sustainable practices and capturing performance results. This discussion is for audiences who have experience with implementing green building projects and an interest in making things smoother the next go around.
