To LEED Sux

Even though dgambard that wrote "LEED Sux" has such an inflated opinion of himself, combined with his apparent anger issues related to having selected the wrong career, I have to agree with him that LEED is less about true sustainability.  LEED is just another program designed to benefit one group over another.  It's big advantage is the manipulation of the whole kool-aid drinking, far-left, program-loving, spend other people's money, fanatics that have no concern for facts or reality as long as their self-righteous cause is advanced.

As for dgambard, I am an architect. I consider the engineers I work with as my professional partners in the design and construction industry.  I don't have a Masters.  I opted for the undergraduate plus 1 year program that is still offered in many states.  Your unsubstantiated claim that you know so much more is the real "sad thing" here.  My expereince has been that the engineers I work with are all extremely good at what they do, but they tend to be myopic.  I see where electrical engineers locate light fixtures on top of the hvac grilles, or worse inside of a steel beam.  They carefully and competently lay-out their own part of the project, but often fail to coordinate their work with the other designers.  I can't count the number of times an engineer has called me with a deisgn question and my response is to direct them to a specific page and detail that we have already provided them that fully answers his or her question.  If only some engineers would spend a few minutes and try to understand the big picture it would benefit us all.On LEED green-building program confronts critics and growing pains posted 1 year, 6 months ago 11 Responses
