Energy Efficient Land Use Planning: February 6, 2009; 1 pm – 2:30 pm EST

As the cost of energy increases, so is the need to consider energy efficiency in making land use and public facilities location planning decisions. This session will focus on how the economics of energy will influence development patterns and density, and how such considerations as commuting times and public sector fuel consumption should be factored into in both short and long-range community planning. Included is an overview of new LEED Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) standards. Glen Larson is the Assistant Director of the Chesterfield County Planning Department in Virginia. This event has been submitted for 1.5 hours of Certification Maintenance credit.
