Green building is becoming the standard for the built environment. Studies predict a 900% worldwide growth in certified buildings by 2020. But, along with the many benefits of building green come new challenges and risks. Buy this 90-minute recorded webinar to get a clear understanding of the new risks that green building brings and how you can circumvent them or share them with other stakeholders.

Green Construction Contracts

Design and construction has always been a risk-laden business. Design and construction contracts should clearly allocate significant risks among the project team in exchange for compensation. As we contemplate complex green and sustainable buildings, we need to appreciate the old and new risks involved and consider the entities that should accept the allocation of various risks. Bryan C. Jackson, a green and sustainable construction Partner at Allen Matkins, an Adjunct Professor teaching green and sustainable construction at USC, and the Editor of the Green Building Update, will explore various green risks that need to be properly managed and negotiated in green construction contracts.

Sustainable construction is here to stay. But, there is little precedent to guide us considering that there was no building green risk ten years ago. This is new territory and with that comes new risks. Buy this recorded online seminar and you will have a better understanding of the current and emerging risks of green construction and what you can do to protect your organization now and for years to come. This webinar will also discuss:

• Can you really afford not to go green? Consider the loss of salability, loss of leasability and lenders refusing to finance non-green projects.
• Are “not green enough” lawsuits the wave of the future?
• LEED project certification and de-certification – what happens if it is the latter?
• Green and sustainable construction may have to adjust to performance in changing geographies and climates
• Contractors need to recognize that there is additional risk in innovative products from new suppliers and apply a higher degree of rigor in evaluation
• What happens if you sign a contract for a certain certification level and you don’t meet it – who’s responsible?
• AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!
