Sustainable Concrete Masonry and LEED
with David Dimmick, Executive Director, New England Concrete Masonry Association
an AIA/CES 1.0 LU program
Our meeting this month will focus on how concrete masonry and landscape products can contribute to the earning of points under the LEED program. Created by the U.S. Green Building Council, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
program was designed to facilitate positive results for the environment, occupant health and financial return, to define “green” by providing a standard for measurement, and promote whole-building, integrated design processes. Find out how concrete masonry products can contribute positively in the following LEED categories: sustainable sites, energy and atmosphere, recycled content, local manufacturing/extraction, and design innovation.
Our speaker, David Dimmick, joined the New England Concrete Masonry Association (NECMA) in January of 2000. As Executive Director he is responsible for all aspects of the Association’s operation. Mr. Dimmick has been responsible for introducing a highly successful Architects training program in the past three years, which has reached more than 7,500 in the New England area.
Mr. Dimmick serves as Chairman of the Air Barrier Task Group for the National Concrete Masonry Association and is a member of several additional committees including: Workforce Development, Education and Training, Energy, and the Fire Safety Promotion Task Group. He is also an active participant in the Masonry Alliance for Codes and Standards where he serves on the Energy Committee and the Fire Safety Task Group. Mr. Dimmick is also a founding member and current Director of the New England / New York Fire Safety Construction Advisory Council.
