Join AIA Utah on December 12 for a full day of CE credit (5 HSW). Great speakers, lunch, networking, and more!

This educational program seeks to present a holistic sustainable design process. It will explore the motivations of a client to pursue sustainable design in their project, from the financial motivations to market demand. The presentations will then provide strategies to help project teams and owners ensure the goals set early on are being met.

"Bridging the Gap" will then go beyond the design and construction discussion and provide information on ongoing performance monitoring as well as the importance of an engaged owner and user to the overall success of the project. The final presentation will be a panel discussing the value of green building over the life of the structure.
