AGC of Michigan will host LEED® Estimating for Green Buildings

Brought to you by AGC of America & AGC of Michigan, this program will cover the stages involved in estimating, designing and building sustainable construction. It will document the importance of an integrated design process and review what items may be "no cost," "minimal additional cost," and "significant additional cost." Program Learning Objectives:      • Describe environmentally friendly strategies for sustainable building design and construction.      • Discuss LEED standards.      • Compare the bidding and estimating procedures of green vs. traditional construction.      • Review the LEED Rating System and identify its impact on design, project planning and         construction strategies.      • Examine the importance of integrated design and its effect on costs.      • Apply the Life Cycle Analysis to cost estimation.
