posted by  Laura Charlier  on 

What does “Open Bottom Planters” mean? I assume they drain to ground water – and not to a weep hole in the face of the wall, and then to storm? Thanks.

General forums
posted by  Elizabeth Ann Satterfield  on 

I am doing research on the voting of LEED v4. I know that overall, 86% of USGBC members voted yes. My question is, why did they decide to vote yes? And if you voted no, why?

aerosol line saver

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings

Has anyone considered reporting the use of aerosol "line saver"? This is the stuff sprayed over chalk lines during construction to preserve construction reference lines for layout.
