GreenCE presents:

Calculating Indoor Water Use Reduction for LEED

Author/Presenter:  Alex Spilger, LEED AP BD+C, ID+C, EBOM

Continuing Education:

1 AIA HSW/SD CE Hour
1 GBCI LEED Specific Hour for LEED Green Associates or
1 LEED Specific BD+C GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals or
1 LEED Specific ID+C GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals or

AIA Course Number:  wgs00a | GBCI Course ID:  90007282

Course Description: 

This one hour live webinar course includes practical knowledge regarding the WE prerequisite and credits for Indoor Water Use Reduction calculations. We will review and demonstrate how to properly complete the LEED calculations for Indoor Water Use Reduction by means of the Credit Template.  The presenter will directly train participants to complete these LEED credit calculations by hand, thus providing a solid foundation for the variables, assumptions and calculation methodologies referenced by the credits and built into the Credit Template. Participants will then actively locate and complete the credit template in 4 different application examples using various scenarios.  By  performing these calculations, participants develop a framework for these credits which enables improved utilization of the LEED NC, CS, Schools, ND, and CI Rating Systems. We will conclude the program with a brief 10 minute Q&A session with the presenter and subject matter expert.
