Each month, USGBC will share four handpicked education courses about a specific aspect of green building that will be free for that month only. In June, gain insight from professionals working on LEED projects with these five picks:

General Contractor Leadership in Green Building

2 CE credits | Basic level | Created by AEC Daily Corporation | Slide format

This presentation focuses on four major areas of managing a LEED project team from the general contractor’s perspective. It includes an overview of the integrative process, identifying potential members and responsibilities of the project team and discussing how to implement that process in detail, investigating why the role of a LEED project manager is critical to the success of the project, ideas based on personal experience, and examples of past projects with best practice recommendations for a practical approach. It counts toward USGBC's construction-focused Green Builder badge.

Project Scheduling

0.5 CE credits | Intermediate level | Created by Triple Green Building Group, LLC | Podcast format

LEED Fellow Kelly Gearhart discusses scheduling in the context of green building and LEED certification—the typical schedule, main stages, challenges, and transitions between end of construction and occupancy. Tune in for an in-depth review of a typical certification project process. Parts 1 and 2 of this podcast series, The Profession of a Green Building Consultant and Working With a Client, are also available for listening.

Integrative Design Process for High-performance Teams

1 CE credit | Intermediate level | Created by Slipstream | Presentation format

The integrative design process (IDP) has the potential to radically change the way building design and construction decisions are made and improve project success. However, integrative design projects don’t often succeed, because of poor team structure. How can you create a successful integrative design team? Differentiate between traditional design processes and IDP, gain a sharp, new understanding of team integration, and learn clear steps to facilitate project teams. Hear about challenges and take away tips from a successful project’s team members and stakeholders.

How Early Design Collaboration Empowers High Performance Design and Material Selections

1 CE credit | Intermediate level | Created by USGBC | Webinar recording

Experts explore how project teams can work effectively to tackle unique challenges with energy and materials. LEED v4 Building Design and Construction project case studies in the Healthcare and New Construction categories are shared to show the importance of integrating teams, tools and technologies to achieve project excellence.

Helping Owners Reach Goals: Lessons of Winning Teams

0.5 CE credits | Intermediate level | Created by USGBC | Webinar recording

The presenters in this course have supported teams on hundreds of projects, for major renovations, new construction and existing buildings. Certification systems have evolved from predominantly design/construction-focused to heavily touching owner operations and policies, and a new kind of consulting is required to help owners reach goals. This session shares elements of consulting and project-process, including examples across certification systems and evolving codes. Learn about specific types of process-tools you can use to overcome project challenges, including what kind of owner strategy is likely to require the tool’s use.
