Doing the Extraordinary: Design Excellence Through Sustainable SITES Legislation - 1.25 PDH (LA CES/HSW)

Can we achieve extraordinary design, impact, influence, equity, and sustainability through SITES legislation? How can we do this? Learn from Rhode Island's historic Green Buildings Act, becoming the first state in the nation adopting LEED for Neighborhood Development and the highly strategic SITES guiding frameworks into public law.

Learning objectives:

• Develop and formulate guiding frameworks for legislative initiatives that foster excellence in design and sustainability.
• Identify opportunities to develop cooperation, coordination, and collaboration with diverse groups, and learn to craft happenstances for "accidentally on purpose" opportunities for collaboration.
• Recognize and understand how words matter in formulating the initial language of legislation, but also in anticipating future circumstances that might not be originally contemplated.
• Appreciate the importance of participation in the public realm of policy and legislative initiatives, resulting in greater cumulative design impacts than realized from single projects.
