Speaker:  Jerry Yudelson, PE, LEED Fellow, Principle of Yudelson Associates

Mr. Yudelson will address the issue of building performance after the building has been in use.  His upcoming book, The World’s Greenest Buildings: Promise vs. Performance in Sustainable Design, focuses on this topic showcasing “the actual energy performance of 50 LEED Platinum or equivalent green buildings from around the world, we will get a sneak preview of both how they perform and the successful strategies for achieving high performance buildings.”

Jerry Yudelson has keynoted more than 50 conferences and events in 12 countries since 2006. He is the author of 12 books on green buildings, water conservation, green homes and green development including, 2010’s Dry Run: Preventing the Next Urban Water Crisis.
