LEED for Product Manufacturers Seminar:

The LEED for Product Manufacturers program was developed by Green Ideas to guide product development team, including sales and marketing professionals, in learning how their building products support (or could support) the objectives of the building owners pursuing LEED certification.

Many manufacturers understand the basic environmental attributes sustainable design professionals are looking for, such as “recycled content”. Yet the specifics of what constitutes “recycled content”, for example and how it is quantified in the LEED rating systems can be elusive. This seminar will clarify this and many similar issues surrounding LEED, and participants will leave with a framework for developing, documenting and marketing products that contribute to or comply with LEED goals.

 
Target audience: Building product professionals including those who interact with customers or who develop, manufacture, represent, and market those products.
