I am new to the SAL and honored to be included. I'm Summer, managing partner at Ecoimpact Consulting. I manage a small staff of sustainability consultants who focus primarily on LEED project administration and documentation services. Day to day, I am working on implementation of the technical requirements of various LEED rating systems (in the weeds of LEED) for multiple building types but what inspires me are the far reaching impacts of green building on human health and wellness, resilience, equity and our shared planet.
I volunteer a ton: I am a LEEDuser Expert, I am the co-chair of the HPDC Third-Party Verification Technical Subgroup, I am the board chair for the US Green Building Council Carolinas Community, I'm on the City of Charlotte's Strategic Energy Action Plan Buildings Working Group and there a few others. I also contributed to a book on Sustainable Commercial Interiors with my business partner (retired), the amazing Penny Bonda.
I believe it is our imperative to continually raise the bar of what constitutes green building. I hope to draw inspiration from the ideas and insights of this impressive group of green building professionals and the rest of the Green Gurus.
