This seminar addresses ways to implement performance-based contracts that achieve high-performance buildings with low energy profiles. Learn about upfront contract provisions that lead to measurable performance benchmarks in building construction and operations.

By completing this course you will have a demonstrated knowledge of:

• Innovation by design teams and contractors to incorporate energy efficiency as part of the design/construction process;
• Minimal additional cost to achieve significant energy savings (in the range of 50% reduction);
• Identify, select, and procure the lowest impact materials, equipment, and systems;
• Owners who are focused on project management, rather than solving design/construction problems;
• Strong communications between owners, design teams, and contractors; and
• Best practices, examples, and lessons learned from real experiences in implementing this process.
