      With more than 90 new LEED™ branch banks in the works, PNC Bank has redefined both design and delivery processes. We’ll review how PNC delivered high-performance branch banks on time and on budget, and how they are changing attitudes for an unparalleled market transformation within the volume-build community.

Learning objectives:

• Review the first volume-build LEED program, using the important design, process, materials, and systems factors critical for building high-performance buildings, in volume, on multiple sites
• Discuss a new mind-set for sustainable building-the many lessons learned in forging a process for volume-build LEED that required thinking about sustainable strategies from a macro and systemic perspective
• Discover critical information about the progress and status of the LEED volume-build process-where it stands and what developments are expected.
