USGBCNV New Knowledge at Noon is an initiative that 2014 USGBC Nevada President Daniel Huard suggested as an initiative which Kelly Thomas the Chapter’s Program Director quickly turned into a robust educational offering platform. Chapter members now have the opportunity to attend a LEED Credential Maintenance trianings with the benefit of having a seasoned LEED Practitioner available to highlight specific points and parts of the presentation and as well host a question and answer session following the training. Education Collaboration with USGBCNV is something that Daniel Huard, Principal of Humann Building Solutions, LLC has been doing since he hit the ground in Las Vegas in 2006, at that time Huard’s knowledge was based in Energy Efficient Design, Best Practices in Mechanical Systems, Resource Optimization and Resiliency following on his work with the National Science Foundation and MCEER.

Under Huard’s leadership the USGBC Nevada Chapter presented its first Regional Green Conference in April 2014 Green-by-SouthWest which met with much success due to its extensive offerings of educational events as well as industry networking.
