Did you miss the live webcast? Get it here for free—and take a quiz for continuing education credits too.

Guinea pigs everywhere want to know: do you know as much about toxic chemicals as a building professional should?

Nadav Malin and I had a great time presenting our webcast featuring BuildingGreen's new handbook, “Toxic Chemicals in Buildings: How to Find & Avoid the Worst Offenders,” to almost 500 participants in late September.

If you missed it—or if, like many audience members hoped, you wanted to see some of the slides again—now’s your chance. We've posted the video at the bottom of this page.

What it’s about

This webcast is designed to help you sort through the constant barrage of information about everything out there that “might be killing you” and help your clients build healthier buildings. Topics include:

  • Different approaches to information overload
  • What we know about toxic chemicals in our buildings
  • Coping with knowledge gaps
  • Tools for finding out more
  • Voices of experience

What they’re saying about the webcast

Participants in the live webcast gave us a lot of great feedback. Here are just a few of their comments:

  • Enjoyed the content and the enthusiasm of the presenters.
  • I found the presentation very thoughtful, well organized, and packed with lots of useful information.
  • It was an engaging webcast. I enjoyed it. Not as dry as I expected. :)
  • Great demystification of exempt VOCs and content vs. emissions.

Need continuing education credits?

OK, just in case that wasn’t convincing enough…you can also earn CEUs for this if you’re a BuildingGreen member.

Watch, listen, and then log in to your personal BuildingGreen account and take a short quiz to earn 1 AIA HSW-Sustainable Design learning unit and/or 1 LEED credential maintenance continuing education hour.
