NRMCA Offers New Course Titled Concrete’s Contribution to LEED v4

NRMCA has published a new course titled Concrete’s Contribution to LEED v4 and has announced it in the August issue of Architect magazine and in Hanley Wood’s online university. The article discusses advancement in LEED v4 that will change the way design professionals, contractors and product manufacturers do business. Many credits, such as Rainwater Management, Heat Island Reduction and Optimized Energy Performance, are refined.

This article reveals strategies using concrete that yield successful results in achieving sustainability goals.
