May 7, 2012: Carrier's Latest Sustainability Symposium Series to Provide Green Building Training
Carrier designed the symposiums to allow industry professionals to obtain and easily apply building and design ideas for sustainable high-performance buildings. Each symposium will provide information and standards from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Version Three. Attendees will be able to claim 0.2 continuing education units (CEUs) or 1.5 professional development hours (PDHs) for each workshop for professional licenses. With up to four workshops scheduled, attendees can earn up to 0.8 CEUs or 6 PDHs.
Carrier Sustainability Symposiums are offered through Carrier University’s Institute for Sustainability, which leverages the company’s body of knowledge and expertise to deliver green building and sustainability education. Initiated in 2009, the symposiums have reached more than 2,000 people in 28 cities.
“We wanted to provide an educational forum for industry professionals nationwide to easily learn and apply new design and building ideas for sustainable structures,” said Brian Lynch, manager, Carrier University. “Rather than industry professionals coming to us, Carrier is bringing the Sustainability Symposium to them, hosting one-day workshops in select cities across the U.S. over the next eight months.”
Cities currently scheduled for the 2012 Sustainability Symposiums include:
• Boston - May 8
• New York City - May 8
• Philadelphia - June 13
• Bethesda, Md. - Sept. 17
