Owners see benefits in seeking LEED certification but some owners also find that LEED certification may have been “over-sold.” No owner wants to spend additional time and money trying to retrofit a project that misses the mark, and no CM wants to be liable if the property does not achieve LEED certification. Understanding and managing expectations along with the standard of care will help avoid litigation.  Learning Objectives: Gain the ability to identify metrics for achieving certification and other awards; specify contract language to allocate liability for the standard of care required to achieve certification, avoid limitation of liability, insure risk; and provide strategies for managing expectations to avoid litigation. 
Speakers: John R. Manning, PE, CCM, LEED AP,Kraus-Manning, Inc;
