ESUS Webinar: Chemistry 101 for Building Managers

Wednesday, October 19, 2022 12 pm – 1 pm CT

Register Now!

Facility managers are charged with maintaining healthy built environments. With the flux of tenants and occupants, there is a constant flow of materials being moved in and out of a facility. These facility materials may be in the form of renovation construction materials or technology equipment. Often, materials arrive with possible unknowns and unintended consequences. In this session, you will learn the basic chemistry behind how common indoor air pollutants behave. Understanding this basic behavior will help you manage the air quality in the built environment. Knowing which products will off gas over a short time period versus which will accumulate in dust over the duration of their lifespan will have significant implications on mitigation strategies. Understanding how real-world conditions will impact the products in a space is essential to crafting your own management plans. Toolkits and mitigation strategies will be shared with you to put into practice knowledge gained.

ESUS Q3 Webinar: Embodied Carbon – What You Need to Know

Register Now!

12:00 pm – 1:00 pm CT

Speaker: Charlie Cichetti, LEED Consultant and Trainer

Hear from our green (and healthy) building experts about the shift from operating carbon (building efficiency) to embodied carbon (supply chain and materials). By 2035, experts predict that the biggest energy/carbon demand will come from embodied carbon, as our buildings continue to become greener & more efficient. While we still have work to do on both fronts, join us to learn where mandates are popping up and how you can navigate this evolution in green buildings. We will also highlight tools to track all of this information.

Charlie Cichetti is a LEED Fellow who has dedicated his career to the green building movement – education, consulting, and technology. He has years of experience in commercial construction, real estate development, and LEED consulting. Mr. Cichetti actually was one of the first professionals to hold all of the LEED credentials. He is a sought-after trainer and speaker on green building topics.
