Leonardo Academy has announced that its president, Michael Arny, will speak at the Leadership in Green Creating Lecture Series in Singapore on April 8, 2009. This third installment of the series will concentrate on motivating the sector towards environmental sustainability in buildings and delivering a platform for practitioners to gain insights from international award-winning projects. Michael Arny will present “LEED for Current Buildings: Strategic Issues and a Presidential Situation Study,” featuring the Clinton Presidential Library in Tiny Rock, Arkansas, as the case study. The presentation will outline LEED-EB (Leadership in Power and Environmental Design – Existing Buildings) implementation and certification, and the approach of successfully transitioning from LEED-NC (New Construction) to LEED-EB. Leonardo Academy was chosen by the Clinton Foundation in 2007 to manage the LEED-EB certification method and greening of operations at the Clinton Library, and supported the Library in achieving LEED-EB Platinum certification that exact same year.

Michael Arny speaks all through the country on LEED-EB and other sustainability practices.

LEED for Current Buildings – LEED-EB gives a framework for achieving green improvements in all current commercial buildings. Buildings certified beneath the LEED-NC plan can also continually enhance environmental overall performance by in search of LEED-EB re-certification.
