Watershed Academy Webcast Seminars
|
EPA's Watershed Academy is pleased to sponsor free Webcast seminars. Local watershed organizations, municipal leaders, and others are invited to sign up for these free, on-line Webcast training sessions. Webcasts are typically conducted on an approximately monthly basis, on Wednesdays at 1:00pm to 3:00pm EST. Attendees must register in advance to participate in Webcasts. During the Webcasts, trainees log onto the Web to participate in live training conducted by expert instructors. Your computer must have the capability of playing sound in order to attend the Webcasts. In advance of Webcasts, we post PDF copies of the PowerPoint slides in the yellow box for those that want to print them out. The Watershed Academy is also now offering a certificate to those that attend Webcasts. For those that are not able to register for a Webcast, a streaming audio version of the training will be made available after the live seminar (see links to previous Webcasts below).

Webcast on Wed. Aug. 11, 2010
"Re-Visioning Landscapes with LID: The Houston Experience"
by Justin Ring, PE, Senior Project Manager, Edminster, Hinshaw, Russ & Assoc., Christopher Browne, LEED AP, Manager, Land Planning and Development Services, Edminster, Hinshaw, Russ & Assoc., Frank Liu, President, Lovett Interests, Inc., and Robert C. Adair, President, Construction EcoServices
Join us for the “Re-Visioning Landscapes with LID: The Houston Experience” webcast. During the past winter, the Houston Land/Water Sustainability Forum sponsored a national Low Impact Development (LID) Design Competition. The competition was created to educate design professionals, decision makers and the public on the economic, environmental and quality-of-life positive impacts of LID. The design teams, most of whom had no previous experience with LID, created designs for three real developments being planned around greater Houston—a green roadway, urban redevelopment, and a suburban residential design. This webcast will feature participants from all portions of the competition—competition organizers, competition winners, and design judges. This webcast will also feature a discussion of the competition’s ripple effect on Houston’s design/build community as well as the building ordinances in Houston. The competition is spawning interest beyond Houston on the benefits of LID. See for yourself what’s behind the buzz.
Webcast participants are eligible to receive a certificate for their attendance. Participants are encouraged to download presentations prior to the Webcast at Watershed Academy Webcast Seminars.
