For the 3rd consecutive year, the event turned out to be a successful one, gathering participants from numerous companies with different backgrounds, all of whom were LEED accredited professionals.
SEEDS International were very pleasant of the participation and the outcome of this workshop which shows transcendental year after year. The audience were keen to explore the LEED v4 and the changes made from LEED v3, being main sustainability professionals in their respective companies, as well as the new topic of Operations & Maintenance in the existing buildings. The workshop allowed the attendees to complete 15 LEED Continuous Education hours, part of maintaining credentials for both LEED APs and LEED GAs.
Two courses were conducted over the two-day workshop, giving an overview of the different v4 credits and how to best implement them in both New construction and existing buildings. Tips and tricks of credit implementation were also discussed for projects in Lebanon and abroad.
Through deep knowledge of LEED material, the sessions were interactive and expertise was exchanged all throughout the workshop, with friendly constructive discussions that were beneficial to all, sharing the different perspectives and experiences the participants had.
