Join two prominent architects, an expert from the United States Green Building Council, and an executive from Ludowici as they discuss definitions of sustainability, their application to the jobsite, and their relevance to today’s clients. Listen as they explore connections between traditional materials and long-term durability and assess contemporary rating systems and the ways in which they affect design, restoration, and rehabilitation for both commercial and residential architecture.

After attending, you’ll be able to do the following.

• Define key concepts attached to sustainable design and construction.
• Judge the sustainable aspects of different building products.
• Understand LEED and other material rating systems, including international versions, and their basic application to actual projects.
• Apply scientific terms and concepts to the selection of traditional building materials.
