Counting Your Carbon
and Building A Community Carbon Network, Thursday, January 21, 2010, 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
This is a partner event with The Greater Philadelphia Chapter of Association of Energy Engineers (GPCAEE). The
USGBC’s launch into the emission reduction reporting world with their latest LEED 2009 program for existing buildings
is a “rose waiting to bloom”. The conundrum is that no one really knows how to nurture this opportunity to its
full potential. In this presentation, you will be introduced to the web-based registration realm of LEED building, carbon
offsets. Also, you will be shown how the Philadelphia community can be the first city to provide carbon credit generators,
sellers, and buyers with their own, “local platform” so they can keep the economic benefits of carbon credit trading
right here. With a dedicated partnership of community-doers we can illustrate to the Green Building Industry and others in
Philadelphia exactly why and how to: a) earn their LEED point for emission reduction reporting , b) count all of their carbon
offsets, and c) create a community network to take full economic advantage of all carbon credits.

Energy Star and LEED EBOM: A Toolkit for Existing Buildings, Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM
Building Owners and Managers are currently faced with the challenge
of making their existing buildings more energy efficient, while keeping a close eye on capital expenditures in an unstable
economy. There are tools available to help you get started, but which ones should you be using? Energy Star? LEED? This
session will demonstrate how both of these tools are an important part of your toolkit and how you can use them to achieve
favorable results. Andrew Kreider from the EPA will give you an overview of Energy Star Portfolio Manager, and Bill Craig
from Re:Vision Architecture will review how LEED EBOM (Existing Building, Operations & Maintenance) tackles energy efficiency,
and beyond. Marla Thalheimer, Sustainability Manager from Liberty Property Trust will provide an example of how Liberty is
using these tools to measure, set goals and track the results throughout their portfolio. Together we’ll look at the
advantages, the differences, and how they work together to ultimately create a high performance building.
