NEW - BIM Education Program

The AGC of America has released the first unit of their new BIM Education Program; BIM 101: An Introduction To Building Information Modeling.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one of the most exciting developments in the construction industry and is changing the way projects are built. AGC's BIM Education Program is being developed in conjunction with leading BIM practitioners, technology firms and educators to provide contractors with the essential information and skills needed to successfully implement BIM.

The program will be comprised of six units to give participants a broad understanding and essential knowledge on BIM terminology, technology, concepts, functionality, and legal and insurance issues.

We will be offering the first unit, BIM 101: an introduction to Building Information Modeling here at our chapter in the fall/winter training season of 2009/2010.

LEED Version 3

On April 27, 2009 the U.S. Green Building Council officially launched LEED version 3. The difference between LEED 2009 and LEED version 3 is that LEED version 3 consists of (1) LEED 2009; (2) a new, improved version of LEED Online; and (3) the Green Building Certification Institute certification process. By the end of September 2009 the entire system will transition to LEED version 3. You can learn more by visiting the USGBC website at http://www.usgbc.org

The AGC of America has LEED curriculum that is currently being updated to reflect the changes of LEED version 3. When these changes are complete we will be offering the classes here at our chapter.
