Sustainability In Existing Buildings: Sustainable Purchasing (Part 3 of 5)

Sustainability in existing buildings is more challenging to achieve than it is in new construction. Aging buildings, obsolete and inefficient building systems coupled with outdated practices make achieving sustainable goals costly and time consuming.

This webinar series will explore the five key things you need to know to start down the path of sustainability in your existing buildings, including: energy efficiency; water efficiency; sustainable purchasing; material handling; air quality and cleaning. Each category will be a one-hour webinar. We will integrate case study findings into each category and show you how a building achieved LEED for Existing Buildings Platinum certification by using these five things as their roadmap.

This webinar is part 3 of the series, which will cover sustainable purchasing.
