Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Site Considerations: Where to Develop Webinar

Why Should You Take This Site Considerations: Where to Develop Webinar?

This introductory webinar will provide an overview of the characteristics of a site that should be protected versus characteristics that make a site ideal for development. It will cover reasons why certain vulnerable sites should be avoided and why the development of others would result in a more sustainable built environment. The lecture will focus on a group of strategies that specify where to develop as opposed to how to develop.

After completion of this webinar, participants will understand why certain sites should be protected from development. They will also be able to identify characteristics that make a site a more sustainable option for a building project, and be able to apply this knowledge to real world green building case studies.
