This one-day workshop will provide you the fundamentals of combining the two gold standard national metrics in sustainability: LEED Certification and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Framework. Learn how these two frameworks can work together to communicate green building activities more broadly.

By taking this course, you will be able to broaden your skill-sets by becoming familiar with the linkages between LEED and GRI, and be able to leverage previous work related to LEED and green building to develop or enhance sustainability communications and reporting.

Hawaii residents get a huge discount of only $100 for the full day workshop! These classes are usually $400+ on the mainland so it is a great deal.

Seating is limited to 10 people.
