Acknowledging the existence of new "green codes" which USGBC and others helped to create, LEED v4 re-establishes itself as an aspirational rating system. At this, the first event in the Natural Capital series, you'll learn about what is new in LEED v4, How this new system will affect current and planned building certifications, How LEED v4 might affect local green building regulations, and How your business can respond to the changes.
