comments Jenny Carney Vice President WSP LEEDuser Expert 657 thumbs up March 11, 2011- 3:50 pm For what it's worth, my toxicologist sister thinks the DfE program makes a lot more sense for minimizing toxicity in cleaning product formulas than a lot of the programs that are cited in the credit language. I'm not sure that DfE existed prior to the establishment of the current requirements, but I think...

Tristan Roberts Representative Vermont House of Representatives LEEDuser Expert 11477 thumbs up March 28, 2011- 9:23 pm Danielle, I think how you approach this credit depends a lot on your building. Are you looking at a situation with an economic feasibility question? Can you give a few more particulars?

I was unable to login for a while for some unknown reason. This is an existing building (Non profit org) and we are trying to get them LEED...

Hello. We are working on a CI project. We have only three types of waste (mixed materials, mix of concrete and mix of gyps), with three different containers. All these materials are removed from the building site and diverted from the local landfill recycling them in another building site as backfill to stabilize a lot (without separation or sorting). Is it correct to consider all these materials as "commingled materials" and document this diversion with a letter signed by the GC that describes this process? Thank you in advance! MRc2 ...

I have a project that is classified as a high rise residential building. In the proposed design, the living units are conditioned by water source heat pumps and ventilated via natural ventilation (operable windows). Four 100%-outside air units (each about 10,000 cfm) supply outside air directly into the corridors. Since we don’t plan to claim any energy savings from natural ventilation, I intend to model zero ventilation air in the living units both in the baseline and proposed case and the same amount of outside air (a sum of minimum exhaust rates for residential kitchens, bathrooms and dryers)...

parking lot then hops a train, how do we document this on the survey? In order to receive credit, would the mileage driven have to be less than the train distance? Thanks! SSc4 ...

Tristan Roberts Representative Vermont House of Representatives LEEDuser Expert 11477 thumbs up February 18, 2011- 2:04 am S, an auditing firm should in theory be able to take the Green-e standard and verify that a renewable energy source in India meets the standard. This approach isn't taken very often so there isn't a lot of precedent, but I don't see why you couldn't do this. Log in or register to post comments Rubén M. R. Codirector CIVITA LEEDuser Basic Member 106 thumbs up August 13, 2012- 2:44 pm S, how did it go? My project (in Mexico) is in the same situation and I will try the same...

be the same, by the CxA, but now you have two options. EAc3 (Enhanced) still only has a v3 form that uses the on line signatory, but clearly all of them are the CxA. As to the original intent of the document,...
