Seminars

Designing and building with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood products is not only an environmentally responsible choice, it’s also a way to earn multiple credits under the LEED green building rating system. Learn about FSC certification and how to incorporate FSC-certified products into your next project so that you can earn multiple LEED credits. Case studies and examples of FSC-certified products will be presented, along with practical advice and guidance on how to specify and find suppliers and sources of FSC-certified products.
