Green Construction: Mastering the Basics Audio Conference

If mass media is any indicator, then 2008 will be the "Green Year." Public and private owners alike are asking for buildings that conserve natural resources and reduce dependency on fossil fuel combustion for energy use.

Construction professionals are an important partner in the success of a green project. If you need to familiarize yourself with the basics of green construction, this Audio Conference can help.

The Audio Conference will cover:

• the definition of green construction,
• market drivers that impact the increase in interest and expansion of green construction,
• an overview of the available rating systems and standards,
• the contractor's role on a green building project,
• AGC initiatives to provide in–depth educational resources, and
• a preview of the recent research results from Michigan State University on the impact of the LEED® Green Building Rating System on construction practices

Now is the time to be fully versed in the essentials of building practices that minimize environmental impacts, to meet the rising demand in the market and to become a leader in this initiative.
