posted by  Erica Downs  on 

Is anyone aware of any tools for demonstrating the east-west axis of the house is within 15 degrees of due east-west? Or do I need to bust out my protractor?

Road embankment and roadbed must be counted as base and subbase materials? Or only foundation slab and screed? Thank you Strategie

Our LEED Project Boundary includes a future expansion area. This area has grown native species naturally. Can this vegetated area be counted towards this credit?
