Many facility professionals find themselves at an important, if not challenging, intersection: facing the charge to create innovative Sustainability initiatives and programs and then sell these ideas to top management. For sustainability initiatives, identifying the facility management's role is key. In this module, you'll learn how to prepare and present your sustainability business case in the C-suite or the Board room. Understand what it takes to engage upper management by knowing what tools top management uses and their expectations when it comes to you and your department. Create the framework and lead sustainable change!

The Economics of LEED for New Construction and Existing Buildings
Michael Arny
President
Leonardo Academy

By now, many facility professions have seen the LEED acronym, and most know that is stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. But few truly understand the cost, operations and occupant benefits that a designation can bring. Through case studies, surveys and detailed data, this module provides a thorough overview of two key LEED programs: LEED for New Construction (NC) and LEED for Existing Buildings (EB). From first costs to energy use to productivity to market appeal, the presentation details just how a LEED designation can elevate the status of a building - and how to get started on certifying your own facility.

It's convenient. Listen in from your office as our experts explain how you can implement sustainability initiatives in your organization.
It's affordable. As many of your staff as you wish can participate at one low cost. Whether you have 2 or 20 people gathered in an office or conference room, all will be covered under the single low rate of $149 per seminar. Or $347 for the entire series.
