The document discusses how HVAC systems can help buildings achieve LEED certification through improved energy efficiency and environmental standards. It provides an overview of the LEED rating system and credits related to HVAC design, then describes how Lennox products meet various credit requirements through features like high-efficiency units, controls, ventilation options, and filtration. Selecting Lennox equipment can help projects optimize energy performance and earn multiple LEED points to facilitate certification.
This introductory seminar will address the new LEED for Existing Building: Operations and Maintenance (LEED EBOM) rating system and will be focused on medium to large sized commercial and institutional buildings. Recently, LEED Existing Buildings Version 2.0 was replaced with an updated version called LEED EBOM. This move was designed to encourage greater industry participation.
This seminar aims to review the new LEED EBOM rating system, discuss the differences between the new and the old system, and to share our experience administering the new LEED EBOM rating system. Topics that will be covered include LEED EBOM Process and Administration and all LEED EBOM credit categories.

More than 100 Minnesota local government officials and business leaders gathered recently at the University of Minnesota St. Paul Campus--along with more than 50 on a live webinar--to talk about retrofitting buildings. The event was officially called the _Forum on Energy Savings: Retrofitting Programs for Minnesota Cities, Counties, and Businesses.
According to Senator Al Franken, who convened the event, renovating buildings to make them more energy-efficient--called retrofitting--saves money, improves real-estate values, strengthens our infrastructure--and could be the next big thing for Minnesota's economy. Energy-efficient retrofits will also create badly-needed jobs in both the construction and manufacturing industries.
Senator Al Franken joined with a number of Minnesota partners to hold this forum, including the Clean Energy Resource Teams, University of Minnesota's Institute on the Environment, MN Chapter of the Energy Services Coalition, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Urban Land Institute, Minnesota Waste Wise, and the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Deputy Secretary Daniel B. Poneman with the U.S. Department of Energy was a guest speaker.

The definition of a “green” building is often in the eye of the beholder. Rating or certifying a green building helps to remove that subjectivity. Rating a green building informs tenants and the public about the environmental benefits of a property, and discloses the additional innovation and effort the owner has invested to achieve a high performance building.
High performance buildings & rating toolsKen Thomson
High performance buildings are challenging to design, there is no one size fits all solution. The challenge requires an integrated and collaborative approach to the building design. understanding compliance and rating tools helps to give design guidance on the benchmarks that can be achieved. This discussion was focused on how much impact the façade design has on the building performance and how to apply rating tools to the design process.
This is a basic overview of the role of assessment or green rating systems in the design of buildings. It looks most closely at the LEED Version 2 system for New Construction and has not yet been updated to address LEED 2009.
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. Green proof of performance pays
Sustainable design saves energy, opens doors, improves building status
The rapidly growing segment of industry professionals incorporating elements of sustainable or “green” design in construction is
creating buildings that meet today’s needs without compromising future potential. Buildings that are models of efficiency—as well
as healthy, productive, comfortable environments—are not only ecologically sound, but also economically sensible, driving demand
for efficiency certification.

There are many benefits for companies that install high-efficiency HVAC equipment: lower operating costs, increased
employee productivity and lower CO2 emissions. Since many customers value “green-conscious” companies, businesses
looking to improve brand loyalty and market share can use LEED certification to demonstrate their commitment to
efficiency and the environment.

3. Selecting Products and
Services for LEED® Certification
The LEED® program is being used as a benchmark for both private and government buildings, with the
federal government requiring all U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) new construction projects and
substantial renovations to be LEED-certified. Many local governments are also making LEED certification a
requirement for construction and design. The USGBC has more than 18,000 members, with membership
open to professional design, construction, management, finance and insurance businesses, and those who
own and occupy buildings, government and nonprofit agencies. For more information, visit the USGBC at
www.usgbc.org and www.cagbc.org in Canada.
Guidelines
There are multiple LEED rating systems, based on the building type or project under construction.
The LEED rating systems:
• New Construction and Major Renovations (NC) • Existing Buildings – Operations and Maintenance (EB)
• Schools – New Construction and Major Renovations (SCH) • Core and Shell Development (CS)
• Commercial Interiors (CI)
