LEED

Recently, I've come to understand what LEED Certification means and have noticed that many buildings around Victoria are of Leed standard. There is even a LEED certified building store just down the street from Royal Roads.

While browsing current news events, I came across some interesting information about the LEED AP (accredited professionals) standards being increased . It is now more difficult for businesses to become certified and existing LEED AP's now have the option of obtaining a higher, more prestige level of certification. Now, there's all these AP+, random letter+ requirements and such.

I'm not entirely sure what all these levels are for. There is honestly about 9 or 10 different stages of LEED. The way I see it, you're either green, in the middle or not. I don't think the type of company you are should matter, there needs to be some type of ISO standards implemented for LEED certification. Actually, every new building should be built according to LEED platinum regulations and exsisting infrastructure should be upgraded.

Rant of the day.
