For those who need to stay at the forefront of sustainable design, the second course, “NEXT Generation Green Building: Connecting People & Place,” will cover trends that are influencing the green building movement and what they will mean for the next generation of projects. Roxane Spears, vice president of sustainability at Tarkett North America, will review tools to help evaluate material health and the rating systems that are using them, as well as strategies to create actively beneficial spaces for learning, working, healing and living. Attendees can earn credits through AIA, IDCEC and USGBC.
