I had the great pleasure of spending some time with Edward Mazria from Architecture 2030® last week at the AIA Ohio Valley Regional Convention. Architecture 2030 was a major sponsor of the AIA Ohio Affordable Green Home Design Competition, and Ed Mazria sat in on the Best of Show jury, along with presenting, “Architecture: On the Brink of Greatness” to the convention attendees. Therefore as I start posting season two of the e2 series, I am going to skip to the last episode on Architecture 2030 and hope you get inspired as I did.

CSCC Project Video
Well our client, Columbus State Community College decided to create a video of their first LEED building on their new campus. It has been an interesting ride so far during the construction process and keeping our contractors in line with all of their LEED paper work.
At this point we are still targeting a Gold certification. Unfortunatly we still have a year of construction ahead of us to even determine if that will happen. So periodically I will post some construction photos as well as other updates as it may relate to LEED and share some of the things that I have learned along the way.
In the meantime, enjoy the short video.
Video Friday: LEED v3 Video
With the release of the new LEED 2009 or better know as v3 on April 27th, 2009, I decided to post a video by the USGBC that really talks about why we should build in a more sustainable fashion. It also documents what went into the development of the new rating system.
