Earn one AIA HSW LU for attending a free webinar sponsored by AIA Contract Documents: “Using AIA Tools to Manage Legal Issues on Sustainable Projects” on Tuesday, September 9 from 1:00-2:00 PM EST. Listen to sustainability experts on the roles, responsibilities, risks and opportunities unique to sustainable design and construction projects and discover how to reduce, or better allocate, contractual risks using the AIA’s Sustainable Projects Contract Documents and the revised AIA Sustainability Guide.
Learning Objectives: 1. Examine how a clear understanding of each party’s unique roles and responsibilities will reduce project delays and misunderstandings; contribute to a successful sustainable project; and enhance the health and well-being of building occupants. 2. Discover the unique contractual risks architects, owners and contractors face when designing, constructing, or operating sustainable projects. 3. Identify the key contractual modifications that help alleviate the risks and challenges of Sustainable Design and Construction and understand the business and practice implications to be considered by owners, architects and contractors. 4. Explore new sustainable concepts related to the Construction Management delivery model and how these concepts contrast with the typical design-bid-build delivery model.
