I’m involved in large construction projects. Many of them LEED certified. I built some of the early nationally prominent Green building projects about twenty years ago. You can imagine the fun I had with the pioneer leaders in that field.
A number of them I developed respect for but many were Loons. Major money and preference were granted by Owners and these design specialists were never happy unless every iota of their PipeDream was adhered to And given worship as integral and Earth saving.
The building where I worked has turned green. Well literally it turned from brushed aluminum color to brushed aluninum with ugly black stains from the new caulk. They screwed all the windows shut (green means that fresh air is verboten). There was no heat before 6, although through some complaints that got partly fixed. We’ll see what happens with A/C in the summer.
