With publication of the green building standard, an updated online seminar reviewing its requirements is now available from ASHRAE. In addition, ASHRAE will offer 14 online, instructor-led seminars that will run from March until May, which are available to those interested in expanding their knowledge of the HVAC industry and keeping up to date with the latest technology and their applications. A full list of seminars and registration information can be found at http://www.ashrae.org/education/page/1623. 

The course from ASHRAE on the requirements of the standard, Understanding Standard 189.1P for High-Performance, Green Buildings, takes place March 15 and is taught by Tom Lawrence, a member of the committee that developed the standard. This standard covers key topic areas of site sustainability, water use efficiency, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and the building’s impact on the atmosphere, materials and resources, and also includes construction practices as well as plans for operation of the building after occupancy.
