CEU Sponsored by Formica - 1 Hour CEU Credit Healthy Indoor Air by Design Health, Safety & Welfare Presented by Paul Bates, LEED AP Market Outreach Manager - GREENGUARD Environmental Institute Credits: AIA (1LU), IDCEC (0.1 CEU), CSI (1-ECH), USCBC This basic level course is designed to communicate the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and empower architects, designers and specifiers to employ strategies to improve the IAQ in the spaces they are creating. The course includes background on the impact of indoor air pollution on human health and economics. Participants will learn to identify sources of indoor air pollutants, illustrated by several case studies that highlight the effects of controlling, versus not controlling, IAQ at the design phase of building construction. Emphasis also will be placed on how participants can incorporate good IAQ principles into sustainable building projects. |

"What Shade of Green is This Product?" CEU presented by Victoria Schomer, ASID, LEED AP Available CEUs: 0.2 Basic Designation: Health/Safety (HS) Subject Index: Interior Design: Sustainable and/or Environmental Design (2.12) The assessment of materials and products for their "greenness" can be an arduous task. Compounding that challenge is the growing and changing landscape of the certification programs now, and currently being, developed. By using a Materials Matrix Evaluation form to examine specific attributes of a proposed green material, professionals can "grade" products based on their project and client goals and requirements, instead of those purported by the product supplier. |
| 5:30 - 7:00 pm |
Networking Reception with ASID, GHBA Custom Builders Council and Invited Guests Sponsored by Dauphin Sales, Sunbelt, Cangelosi, Relative Sound, and Formica at Dauphin Sales Showroom #273 |
