Building owners are often faced with a difficult decision when given the chance to pursue certification for their new or existing buildings. Even once the decision is made to certify, it can be overwhelming to evaluate all the different types of rating systems to determine which one is most appropriate given the cost limitations, expertise of the project team, and owner’s motivation to pursue sustainability in the first place. Join us in this one-hour course to explore many of the most popular rating systems, including LEED, Green Globes, WELL and others.
