misunderstood this restriction). The entire FSC certified lot should be considered FSC chain of custody...is it now the intent of USGBC to reject the very concept of 'responsible wood sourcing'...

Susann Geithner Principal Emerald Built Environments LEEDuser Basic Member 1297 thumbs up August 19, 2011- 3:16 pm I just want to add to one of your statements. I'm working on international projects a lot and it's almost silly how I have to go about the RECs. I purchase RECs from a Company in the US, which has it's origin in the UK and buys the actual RECs from sites all over Europe, because there are obviously more renewable energy producing facilities. Overall I do have to agree in regards to making LEED more applicable for international projects. I have read through most of the new...

the kind of space that makes a difference because of the large scale. This project stretches over 2 years, is done in several phases, and does get changed a lot even during construction, because...

a Recycled Content line item, I also completed the Regional Materials portion for that line item irregardless if it met the Regionl Materials criteria of being witihin 500 miles. My question: If a material is listed as a line item under Recycled Content, do we also complete the Regional Materials portion as well or do we leave the Regional Materials portion blank if the material's manufacturing & extraction is outside of the 500 mile radius? I had a recent project review and MRc5 Regional Materials was listed as pending due to some of my line items being outside of the 500 mile radius with no cut...

that before parking there, but these spots aren't policed anyway and for this client it at least raises awareness of a metric. On a corporate project with a huge parking lot, we had over 40 spaces to mark. We used a broad green stripe where the spaces meet the parking lane and repeated the words "Low Emitting Fuel Efficient" about every three spaces within the green stripe. The lot was color...

on a Student Union project being certified under BD+C 2009 that will have a parking garage built at the same time adjacent to the student union property line. There is a convenience bridge connecting the two separate buildings. The parking deck is replacing existing ground lots and it not required for the Union. The union and other parts of campus will have access to the parking deck. The teams first assumption...

Emily Catacchio Sustainability Specialist Wight and Company LEEDuser Basic Member 610 thumbs up October 13, 2011- 11:00 pm I'd say this may be a bit of a grey area, since "view" may not be well defined. However, giving your occupants a view out to a brick wall, is perhaps, not meeting the intent of this credit. The credit specifies that you give the occupants a "direct line of site to the outdoor environment " which may not be met with a very close view of an adjacent building. How close it is?

later? Lots of layers, I know. Sorry for the complications, but we're trying to plan these separate projects to interact with their related-but-separate certifications as much as possible. Log...
