LEED building complaints – are they really LEED related?
Are LEED building complaints from tenants really related to the building being LEED? In a discussion over several LEED apartment tenant complaints Matthew Rochte LEED AP, who has managed and owned non-LEED apartments, weighs in. The complaints as tenant complaints go are legitimate, but have little or nothing to do with the buildings being LEED certified, rather they have to do with cost cutting and poor design, construction, and facilities mainenance.
Opportunity Squared- Have a High-rise?
Own a high-rise with a lot of windows, say built within the past 30 years? There are tremendous sustainability opportunities in these buildings as they get renovated. In an Harvard Business Review article, Paul Hawken shares an example of a 200,000 square foot window-clad high-rise on its 20 year renovation. This is part of the Opportunity Squared series from Opportunity Sustainability℠. Author: Matthew Rochte, Sustainability Consultant http://www.OpportunitySustainability.com
