They provide examples of successful ESG reporting and continuous improvements using LEED for Communities\, clearly demonstrating how to expand the benefits of using this tool by linking it to the performance of environmental and social aspects. \nThe LEED for Communities rating system offers a credible framework for corporations\, developers\, real estate companies and investors to navigate complexities of ESG issues\, make improvements\, and support decisions. It requires district\, neighborhood and community scale projects to report on energy\, emissions\, water\, waste\, transportation\, social equity\, and quality of life within performance prerequisites. \nIn this webinar\, developers clearly outline how their organization established a concrete sustainability strategy\, then structured and aligned actions\, initiatives\, challenges\, and commitments. That strategy allowed them to understand the needs and expectations of all of their stakeholders\, including the communities they serve. Utilizing the LEED for Communities rating system\, they were able to validate their sustainability priorities and embrace new strategies and technologies to accomplish commitments to comprehensive sustainability. \nREGISTER FOR THE AUGUST WEBINAR \n  \n\nFebruary: Overview of LEED v5: Taking action on climate\, quality of life\, and ecology\nMarch: LEED v5: Swift Climate Action\, Enriched Quality of Life\, and Advanced Land Use and Biodiversity\nApril: Navigating Smart Building Certifications for Sustainable Futures\nMay: LEED and Upfront Carbon Emissions: A Comprehensive Look at A1-A5 Embodied Carbon in Building Construction\nJune: LEED EBOM Plays Nice with WELL Health-Safety at the Children’s Museum of Cleveland\nJuly: Smart Building Charrette\, circa 2030: Realizing the Promise of High-Performance Green Buildings\nAugust: Exceeding ESG Commitments with LEED for Communities\nSeptember: Looking to the Future: Utilizing LEED as a Tool for Adaptive Reuse Projects\nOctober: LEED Zero Project Profiles\nNovember: Implementing the Future of LEED with LEED v5 Operations + Maintenance\nDecember: Beneficial Electrification in Northern Climates\nJanuary 2025: Inclusive Pathways to Health in LEED v5: Harnessing Biophilic and Universal Design

SUMMARY:Evening Program - Simplifying Net Zero & Maximizing Climate Impacts from Buildings
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW! \nProgram Presented in partnership with:  \n \nWe hear the terms Net Zero\, carbon neutral\, and decarbonization used a lot in the green building industry. The different terms and definitions can get confusing – and the actual impact of the strategies they describe can vary widely. So\, which is the right path to make sure our buildings are acting as climate solutions? Join us for our annual joint program with ASHRAE and I2SL to dive into the details with our guest speaker\, Josh Radoff. Last year\, Josh penned a five-part op-ed series for BuildingGreen\, starting with “Net Zero Has Failed. We need a Universal Carbon Standard.” We look forward to a lively presentation and discussion with Josh! \nSPEAKER: Josh Radoff is the Renewable and Sustainable Energy (RSE) Specialization lead within the Masters of the Environment (MENV) program at CU Boulder\, where he teaches classes on sustainability and decarbonization and serves on the campus sustainability executive committee. He also works with the NGO ICLEI as a Zero Carbon Cities advisor\, and as an independent consultant on various district scale sustainable development projects\, with a focus on climate action planning\, facility electrification\, distributed energy\, and grid interactivity. \nPreviously\, Josh was the head of WSP’s Built Ecology practice and worked on a range of horizontal and vertical sustainable buildings and infrastructure projects across the US and internationally\, pursuing sustainability goals such as Net Zero Energy and Carbon\, WELL\, and LEED. Josh was a co-founder of the sustainability group YR&G\, was a co-founder of the advocacy group GreenHomeNYC. He was co-chair of the ULI Colorado Healthy Places Committee and is a LEED Fellow. He holds Masters’ degrees in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and Columbia University in New York.\n \nADMISSION\nFree – Members of Missouri Gateway Green Building Council\, ASHRAE – St. Louis\, I2SL-St. Louis Chapter and full-time students\n$25.00 – NON-Members\nASHRAE – St. Louis members can register with ASHRAE to receive member pricing.

SUMMARY:Green Building Break - Tour of St. Louis County Library Clark Family Branch
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nJoin your Missouri Gateway Green Building Council for an in-person Green Building Break and an opportunity to tour and learn about the sustainability aspects of the new Clark Family Branch of the St. Louis County Library. \nDesigned by Lamar Johnson Collaborative\, the two-story\, 74\,000 square foot library was designed to respond to the evolving role of the library as a vibrant community and gathering space. This can be seen in a variety of new community and learning spaces\, including an event space with seating for up to 800\, a children’s space\, a history and genealogy center with a Memory Lab to record family histories\, a high-tech creative lab for teens\, and a small business center. \nIn addition to designing for flexibility so the building can respond to the evolving needs of patrons over time\, the library incorporates other green features that foster a healthier environment both inside and out. Outside\, native landscaping\, sustainable irrigation and storm water management\, walking and biking infrastructure and access to public transit promote biodiversity\, connection to nature\, physical activity and environmentally-friendly transit. Inside\, building orientation\, clerestory windows and floor openings allow natural light to penetrate the core of the building\, while recycled materials\, LED lighting\, high efficiency toilets\, and building automation help conserve water and energy and minimize the health and environmental impacts of the building. \nJoin us next Friday to learn more about the Library and experience it for yourself! For those who are able\, we’ll meet for lunch after the tour at Companion Bakery and Cafe nearby. \n\n\nREGISTER NOW \n\n  \nIn 2024\, our Coffee Break Series will transition to a slightly longer Green Building Break Series.

The act of preserving historic structures\, landmarks\, and landscapes is a gift to future generations\, so that they may appreciate the rich and complex foundation on which modern society has been built. Green buildings are typically thought of as ones newly built\, but many historic buildings can be just as sustainable if they are properly maintained and operated. Moreover\, incorporating an existing building into a development project is a green building strategy. All kinds of buildings and spaces enhance their energy efficiency\, indoor air quality and other sustainable features through LEED certification. \nThis session will explore four projects that used LEED certification to support sustainable adaptive reuse.. Speakers representing the projects’ multidisciplinary teams will investigate their approaches to building design\, systems\, materials\, and other elements of deep-energy retrofits\, while respecting the legacies of these existing buildings. Learn how these projects can serve as models for historic preservation and adaptive reuse around the country. \nREGISTER FOR THE SEPTEMBER WEBINAR \n\nFebruary: Overview of LEED v5: Taking action on climate\, quality of life\, and ecology\nMarch: LEED v5: Swift Climate Action\, Enriched Quality of Life\, and Advanced Land Use and Biodiversity\nApril: Navigating Smart Building Certifications for Sustainable Futures\nMay: LEED and Upfront Carbon Emissions: A Comprehensive Look at A1-A5 Embodied Carbon in Building Construction\nJune: LEED EBOM Plays Nice with WELL Health-Safety at the Children’s Museum of Cleveland\nJuly: Smart Building Charrette\, circa 2030: Realizing the Promise of High-Performance Green Buildings\nAugust: Exceeding ESG Commitments with LEED for Communities\nSeptember: Looking to the Future: Utilizing LEED as a Tool for Adaptive Reuse Projects\nOctober: LEED Zero Project Profiles\nNovember: Implementing the Future of LEED with LEED v5 Operations + Maintenance\nDecember: Beneficial Electrification in Northern Climates\nJanuary 2025: Inclusive Pathways to Health in LEED v5: Harnessing Biophilic and Universal Design
