within the animal space, the recognition that vivariums are often designed for 15 air changes is not applied to the LEED model. The base LEED model would reflect 10 air changes as well, resulting in a zero...

I am all for regularly scheduled LEED/sustainability mtgs with the team, but to have that many (12!) and require the owner to be at each of them stops them from being beneficial working mtgs and turns them into a LOT of "presentation" meetings with the owner- with not a lot getting done. I thing the owner should be required to be part of a percentage of them, but not all of them. And/or to have periodic mtgs with the client (but not all 4 members of the integrative design team) makes sense too. Working mtgs without the client allows the design team to be a bit more free in the discussion...

When referring to ISO, does this credit require a new program or just highlight an existing practice that is not covered by LEED?

Michelle Teague Architect, LEED Consultant Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects LEEDuser Basic Member 39 thumbs up November 10, 2010- 6:42 pm I am assuming there is existing parking and that you are adding a charging station to one of those spots?

Pierce Holstrom Director of Engineering Environmental Building Strategies LEEDuser Basic Member 69 thumbs up November 8, 2010- 5:34 pm Ben, A lot of the ongoing commissioning items typically feed into a buildings normal operating plan.
