BCN Web Cast: LEED for Neighborhood Development- The Connection to Brownfields and Local Governments
Thursday September 30, 2010, 2:00 - 3:30 pm EDT There is no fee for the web cast. Increasingly, brownfield revitalization projects seek to incorporate sustainability beyond the considerable environmental benefit of cleaning up and reusing a previously developed property. One important new tool to use in gauging and certifying sustainability for a project is the LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) rating system, which was launched in 2010 after a three-year pilot phase. Speakers will give an overview of LEED ND and discuss the Local Government Guide for LEED ND. The web cast will also feature a case study of the Tassafaronga Village project, a brownfield revitalization project in Oakland CA. The project's plan was awarded Gold certification under the LEED ND pilot rating system. See more information and register here.
