LEED Educational Seminars – Thursday, July 26 Time: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM
Location: Southeast Building Conference REGISTER
Session 3 - 90min.
LEED-Homes - Checklist, categories, scoring, and requirements
This session will continue the LEED-Homes process with a hands on demonstration of an example home and designer/contractor. An almost “re-enactment” of the initial team meeting, the Green Rater will actually go through the LEED-Homes checklist with a Project Team while explaining the requirements and documentation. The process will include a Durability evaluation and inspection checklist. (Speakers: Drew Smith with Two Trails and Phil Kean with Phil Kean Designs)
Session 4 - 90min Energy Star Version 3 and 3.1 Florid
a Energy Star is built on top of the national version, so this will cover all the requirements, process, timelines, and typical costs for both. The material will emphasize the critical impacts to designers and builders. An example designer/contractor will start the online training and commitment process. The HERS Raters will cover the initial documents & specifications, the inspection checklists, and the final tests. Also, a qualified Energy Star HVAC contractor will be available to answer any questions in regards to their requirements and commissioning.
