This first Triangle USGBC Lunch and Learn of 2012 explores several case studies of how unexpected LEED synergies can affect those who work in the building. From road noise and speech privacy to adding cooling systems for technology in conference rooms, participants will learn solutions for making a building friendly for both the occupants and the environment.
- Learn about applicable LEED synergies and explore strategies to deal with obstacles presented.
- Identify ways to incorporate LEED synergies into a design without sacrificing comfort for the building’s occupants.
- Understand the initial and life cycle cost impacts of LEED and other sustainable energy practices on the acoustics of a building.
