LEED for Subcontractors forum - Nov. 5
A collaboration between the USGBC MA Membership Forum, Associated Builders and Contractors of Massachusetts (ABC), and Associated Subcontractors of Massachusetts (ASM) will hold a forum, LEED for Subcontractors, on Nov. 5 from 7:00 am to 12:30 pm at NSTAR-Westwood, 1 NSTAR Way.
The forum is an opportunity to develop complementary skills that produce quality projects for today's demanding green building clients. The workshop aims to focus on particular areas where subcontractors must participate in the LEED process, namely providing documentation about materials and following policies and procedures for indoor air quality.
This workshop will explore in detail the on-the-job requirements affecting various trades. There will be hands-on practice with material information sheets. Small groups will provide an opportunity for discussion, questions and feedback among subcontractors, designers, and general contractors.
