In addition, you will become familiar with the AIA’s Sustainable Projects contract documents, including the newly released Sustainable Projects versions of its Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) and Construction Manager Adviser (CMa) documents.  

Lastly, you will receive the latest updates on the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating systems and become familiar with how the AIA's new Sustainable Projects Contract Documents function with both the IgCC and LEED.

Available resources will be available to help you navigate sustainable design and construction projects including: The AIA Guide to the IgCC and The AIA Guide for Sustainable Projects. Attendees will also receive a live demonstration of the AIA Contract Documents product to discover how to search, access, edit, share and finalize sustainable projects contract documents.
