9:00am – LEED v4: New and Substantially Changed
Gary Hisel, Senior Design Manager, Gray Construction,
The Senior Design Manager coordinates the design and architectural components of the project. Gary reviews the design proposal criteria, facilitates the preparation and presentation of proposal documents for the construction personnel, subcontractors, and vendors. In addition, Gary prepares the layout of project, and consults with our customer to determine functional requirements and creates a unified design for customer review and approval. He is responsible for quality assurance and quality control of design documents for all design disciplines including but not limited to review of documents prepared by Architectural Technicians, sub-consultants, design-build subcontractors and coordinates the design activities with customers. Gary joined Gray in 1999 and has 38 total years of design experience. Gary became a LEED AP in 2008 and has served as a member of the USGBC Education Committee Chairperson and as the Kentucky member of the LEED v4 National Committee since 2013.
Every day 1.5 million square feet of building space is certified. LEED v4, the next step in continuous improvement of LEED, is designed to be more flexible and to improve the overall user experience. LEED v4 also uses increased technical rigor and performance thresholds. While the structure largely remains the same, there are changes to each credit, and some substantial updates to certain credit categories. In this course we will concentrate on the credits that have changed the most, or are brand new credits, in the following categories: Location and Transportation, Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Materials & Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality. Due to the specialized nature of the Energy and Atmosphere category and the length of course time we will not go into any detail regarding that area. Credits that will be discussed include:

Learning Objectives:
10:00am – Commercial Value and Uses for Solar Energy
Joshua Bills, CEM, Energy Efficient Enterprises Program Coordinator
Mountain Association for Community Economic Development (MACED)
Joshua Bills is a NABCEP certified PV Installation Professional and Certified Solar Heating Installer. He is also a Certified Energy Manager and Engineer in Training. He joined MACED or Mountain Association for Community Economic Development 8 years ago and coordinates its Energy Efficient Enterprises economic development program focused on commercial energy efficiency and renewable energy in Appalachian KY. He also chairs the Berea Utilities Advisory Board. Josh, with experience installing over 100 renewable energy installations throughout KY, Haiti and as far off as West Africa, co-authored, “The Kentucky Solar Energy Guide,” published in 2005.
This seminar will cover active solar systems (thermal and photovoltaic). Thermal system will cover freeze protected types that apply to Kentucky’s moderate climate. Briefly covered will also be solar thermal multi-use applications for domestic water heating and hydronic radiant heating. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems covered will be stand-alone off-grid, grid-tie, and grid-tie with battery backup, which can also apply to time-of-day rates. We’ll take a brief look at policy opportunities and limitations related to distributed PV installations in KY.
A historical look at solar costs, and current trends will be included. In Kentucky, since 2013 commercial electric rates have, on average, climbed faster than residential rates. The seminar will be wrapped up with a look at what impacts PV can have on reducing commercial electricity charges, which will include a look at impacts on rising demand charges commercial facilities are facing.

Health and wellness is one of the largest growing industries. In the design and development industry, owners, designers and builders expect health to have a higher influence on design and construction decisions over the next two years.
The WELL Building Standard® provides the opportunity to design and build with a human-centered approach, which ultimately supports the industry in comprehensively addressing human health. WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.
WELL is grounded in a body of medical research that explores the connection between the buildings where we spend more than 90 percent of our time, and the health and wellness impacts on us as occupants. WELL Certified™ spaces can help create a built environment that improves the nutrition, fitness, mood, sleep patterns and performance of its occupants.
Learning Objectives:
Lunch will be from noon to 1:00. All programming (seminars and meals) up to this point will be held at Boone Tavern.
