USGBC Orange County: LEED Fellow Education Series Featuring Erik Ring

LEEDfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About Green Buildings – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think In the spirit of the recent best seller Factfulness by Hans Rosling, LEED Fellow Erik Ring, Director of Engineering at LPA, will reflect back on twenty years of LEED buildings, discuss the state of green buildings today, what might be coming in the future, and some general misperceptions about the state of the green building industry. Erik’s presentation will be interactive (maybe even fun?) and promises to spark lively discussion. Light refreshments will be provided by our host, LPA Design Studios.
