* LESSON 1: FACILITY TOUR
 by Guy Compagnone, LEED AP & Adam Bowen, Senior Project Manager, LEED AP

In a building tour of the Chapman Construction LEED Platinum (pending) facility,
They will review strategies and methods used to both reduce building energy loads for heating, cooling, and lighting; 50% water use reduction, as well as the use of a 47kWh solar panel array to satisfy 90% of the electricity needs this commercial building. We will see in place the ways that the Chapman Building creates a  design strategy to increase daylighting, improve indoor air quality, reduce heat  island effect, and enhance the indoor/outdoor connection.

* LESSON 2: LEED IN PRACTICE
 by Guy Compagnone, LEED AP & Adam Bowen, Senior Project Manager, LEED AP

In a presentation aimed at all levels of LEED knowledge, they will show how the
LEED point system works and how to use it to your advantage as both building
designer and building occupant in a commercial building. They will cover issues
such as building materials using recycled or recyclable content, low VOC paints,
adhesives, sealants, minimizing impact over the full lifecycle, construction
waste reduction plans, and occupant recycling. They will also be discussing key
changes in the new LEED 3.0 standard which addresses key environmental issues,
ecological goals through design and innovation, and full life cycle evalutaion
of the building program.
