Contractor Case Studies at AGC's 2016 Environmental Conference

Join Us Oct. 5-6 in Washington, DC to Learn from Your Peers, Industry Experts and Regulators

Plan to join your peers at AGC’s 2016 Contractors Environmental Conference (CEC) on October 5-6, 2016, in Washington, DC to explore ways to turn environmental responsibilities into successes for you and your firm. With separate tracks on compliance and sustainability, the 2016 CEC will address the issues on your to-do list and give you the opportunity to learn from other contractors, industry experts, and regulators.

The following “Contractor Case Studies” will be showcased AGC’s 2016 CEC:

  • Building a Strong Environmental Program – How to incorporate environmental management system elements into your firm and motivate teams to incorporate environmental stewardship into daily operations.
  • Taking Green to the Next Level – Hear how one contractor is aiming for Net Zero Energy on a project and incorporating the occupant and worker well-being concepts in the WELL Building Standard.
  • Using the Envision Tool on a Project – The Envision Tool helps guide the incorporation of sustainability into the planning, construction and operations of infrastructure projects. Hear from two project engineers on some of the unique facets they face on a project using the Envision Tool.
  • Mitigating Environmental Risks through Craft Engagement – Whether you are working on a green project or focused on compliance, you need an effective approach to risk mitigation. Listen as a contractor shares how their mitigation exercises help identify and prevent risk. Exercises or mock drills help put it in perspective for team members and craft by showing them what to do and getting them involved proactively.
