Jennifer Turchin, a licensed architect, is a Senior Consultant with Sellen Sustainability and has led the sustainability consulting effort on over 50 million square feet of LEED Nc, CI, Core & Shell, Existing Buildings, and Homes projects.  The next update to the rating systems (LEED v4) will open up LEED to a wider range of building types and manufacturing industries, delivering the benefits of green building up and down the supply chain.  It will advance environmental footprint issues, like climate change, and encourage optimization of energy and water use.  Learning objectives included in this program are:

• Rating systems basics - understanding the LEED EBOM program
• Updating the system - identify changes from LEED v3 to v4
• Building performance benchmarking - how used as tool for evaluation
• Lessons learned and case studies - an interactive session!
