On June 21, The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will host a one-day interactive workshop based on a new design manual published by Forester Media. The manual is geared toward designers, architects, urban planners, regulators, and technical professionals who require standard specifications and design criteria for sustainable best management practices (BMPs) that can be implemented in the rapidly growing fields of green infrastructure, green building, low impact development (LID), and sustainable site development. The manual provides standard specifications and design criteria for over 20 different organic, recycled, bio-based BMPs for construction and post-construction storm water management. With information on how these BMPs fit into and contribute to LEED Green Building Credits, restore predevelopment hydrology in LID projects and reduce development site carbon footprint, this new design manual will assist today’s professionals in sustainable site development. Dr. Britt Faucette, the course presenter, will review the new manual, including BMPs, and how it can assist project planners and designers meet their design goals, identify quality compost for storm water management applications, and implementation in LEED and LID projects. Participants will also have an opportunity to participate in a field demonstration to see product installation and to discuss product performance and specifications.
This Sustainable Site Workshop is generously sponsored by Filtrexx Canada and the Great Lakes Chapter of the International Erosion Control Association (IECA). Members of IECA will receive a $25.00 discount off the registration fee. To learn more about IECA, or to become a member, please visit their website.
