In a world of escalating energy costs and dwindling natural resources,
public buildings should set a positive environmental example to the
communities which they serve. As the most public of our public buildings,
libraries are an effective venue in which to educate a community about smart
sustainable design practices and strategies. 

 

Green design should not be restricted by a project size or budget. Any
library can and should be built and operated sustainably. Simple techniques,
materials and operational strategies can limit expenses, reduce resource and
energy use, provide improved indoor air quality, reduce maintenance costs
and provide a safe, clean and sustainable library environment. 

 

After viewing this webinar, attendees will be able to: 

 

.         Understand the need for green design in public buildings 

.         Possess concrete strategies which can be applied to both new and
existing buildings 

.         Possess a basic understanding of effective design partners such as
LEED. 

.         Understand environmental educational strategies and how they can
be applied to libraries and library curriculums.

 

Speaker:  Rick D'Amato.  Rick is a LEED Accredited Professional and an
active member of the United States Green Building Council. He has spoken
about smart sustainable design practices at the AIA National Convention as
well as the USGBC Greenbuild Convention. He is the designer of the first
LEED Platinum building in Orange County for the Environmental Nature Center.
The ENC as it is known is also the first public building in Southern
California to be completely carbon neutral and off the local grid.
