| 4 | VideoGreen Building Codes 101: Navigating the Standards, Codes, and Rating Systems | NOTE: This was originally broadcast as a webinar on 2/24/11. There is no longer a quiz or CE credit associated with this session. As the landscape of sustainable construction practice expands into mainstream construction practice, many in the land use development, construction, and real estate communities are left asking, “How do model construction codes, consensus standards, and voluntary rating programs work together to drive “green” construction practice into the mainstream consciousness of society.” Join leaders in your field from four key associations in the green building industry to help you navigate the landscape of sustainable construction practice. They will provide perspective, frame the facts and discuss the issues you need to be aware of to make sense of how these predominant programs work together to drive “green” construction practices into the marketplace. You will walk away with an understanding of what you know (and don’t know) about the relationship between model construction codes, consensus standards, and voluntary rating programs and their impact on your profession. (A collaboration of the USGBC, ICC, ASHRAE and AIA) | 12/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Its success has called for the development of new tools that policymakers can use to respond to the demand for stronger minimum protections through codes and standards. How do these tools work? What are their strengths and weaknesses? What’s happening now? What’s next? This update will explore the brave new world of green building policymaking.

Useful information and good production
The information was presented in an interesting and engaging manner, and provided resources for further information. I liked the use of background music, but at times it was a bit too loud. Definitely going on my must-download list.
