LEED certification is the most well-known green rating system in the world, but how does the new version work with residential spaces such as homes and multifamily?
Join us as we take you through each phase of the project from design to operations and everything in between; discussing how to build and renovate a better living space for occupants. We will cover the new LEED v4.1 Single-family Homes and LEED v4 Multifamily Mixed-use Low to High-rise all-in-one.
