Implementing LEED in Chicago K-12 Schools (1.5 GBCI &AIA hours) hosted by the USGBC - Illinois Chapter!

Date: 01 Dec 2011 

Time: 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM

Location: Daley Center, 50 W. Washington Chicago, Room CL115 

Program Description:

Join the USGBC - Illinois Chapter's Chicago Branch for an education session on LEED & CPS Schools! Earn 1.5 GBCI CE hours and 1.5 AIA HSW/SD units.

The Public Building Commission of Chicago is implementing multiple LEED school projects, both under LEED NC v.2 and LEED for Schools LEED Rating Systems.  The 2 most recently certified LEED for Schools projects were certified at Gold level. The PBC has an unusual opportunity and perspective on the relative implications and considerations of implementing each rating system - both in terms of design considerations and construction considerations and implementation. Explore design strategies and decisions made in implementing LEED in an evolving prototype building program, with  consideration given to  the rating system differentiation between LEED for Schools and NC, and will touch on how LEED 2009 has changed the equation.  We will discuss some of the practical design implications of implementing LEED for Schools and sustainable design in a large municipal program with its own established design guidelines. Post-construction and overarching CPS programs and their tie-in will also be discussed to provide a more robust understanding of what it takes to build and manage sustainable schools.
