NESEA Speakers at BuildingEnergy 15: Barbra Batshalom

Being a truly green firm is about more than just being “able” to deliver LEED projects. It’s about aligning overall company vision, management, operations and project delivery with the demands of integrative design and collaborative relationships – and measuring company performance improvements as a result. Whether your firm delivers LEED on every project – or not, you can develop the internal systems, processes and protocols to ensure a higher level of performance across the board. The strategies that you put in place improve internal efficiency and position your company to be a truly “green” firm, and differentiate yourselves in a very competitive market. If your firm has been struggling with the 2030 Commitment or hit a plateau, this session gives you the frameworks and roadmaps to overcome the barriers to your success. This interactive workshop builds your capacity to implement these strategies in the most cost-effective way and provides practical tools to enable you to implement comprehensive strategic initiatives in your firm. This session helps you go from “random acts of sustainability” to a truly integrated approach to sustainable design, construction and operations.
