Labs21 Workshop: Environmental Performance Criteria
Monday, September 15
8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
With the growing demand for high performance, low-energy facilities, the need for an assessment system to classify these sustainable buildings is essential. The Labs21 Environmental Performance Criteria (EPC), a point-based rating system that assesses the environmental performance of laboratories, has emerged as a solution. EPC builds on the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC’s) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system by adding credits and prerequisites pertaining to laboratories.
This workshop will introduce EPC and cover such issues as credits and prerequisites; technologies and strategies that can be used to meet EPC requirements; cost implications of meeting those requirements; and sustainable design processes developed from the Labs21 Tool Kit. All conference attendees are encouraged to attend and learn how to be at the forefront of sustainable laboratory assessment.
NOTE: This course is worth 3 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for professional engineers and 3 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) from the American Institute of Architects for registered architects.
Registration Fee: $200
Student Registration: $50*
*Students will be contacted for proof of their full-time enrollment status in order to verify they are eligible for the discounted rate.
