Speakers to address ESG, LEED, and Forest Health Topics
Registration is now open for a webinar to be hosted by WoodWorks on August 8th, 2023. The webinar "Meeting Sustainability Goals with Wood" will address topics ranging from ESG and LEED to forest health concerns. Kathryn Fernholz of Dovetail Partners is part of the three speaker line up and will address sustainable forestry in North America and the connection to innovative and responsible use of wood products. Additional speakers are Aurimas Bukauskas, a consultant, researcher, and member of the Embodied Carbon Team at the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), and Troy Harris, the Managing Director of Timberland and Innovative Wood Products at Jamestown.
Across the building industry, firms and individuals are increasingly committed to reducing the negative impacts of their business on the environment while maximizing the benefits to communities interacting with the buildings. But the range of possible “environmentally friendly” solutions can leave developers, investors, architects, and other decision-makers unsure about the best way to enact positive change. In this webinar, we will discuss how wood products and buildings can help meet a variety of sustainability goals—from broad Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements to specific carbon reduction targets and options within green building rating systems such as LEED. The course will emphasize forestry practices used in North America and the interdependence between wood products and forest health.
Webinar attendees can Earn 1.5 AIA/CES HSW LUs, 1.5 PDH credits or 0.15 ICC credits
