Just got an e-mail regarding GBCI Credentialing Maintenance Program for those of us that have been accredited without specialization under the old system. Was wondering if anyone has dug deeper into what this really means for us and if upgrading to a specialization will pay off in the end?

Just slid into this group. Many of the Washington State funded building design projects require a LEED certification. I’ve been involved in the number of LEED workshops on projects for community colleges in the state. I am not up to speed on the newer landscape/site related LEED certification. I know from past projects, the landscape/site related…[Read more]

That’s encouraging to hear you bring an ‘added value’ to your office and that you’re getting LEED projects (and platinum at that).Good for you!

Hey Brian!

I too amm looking for a Landscape Design position in NYC. I’m into urban design and planning but will also work residential and commerical. I’m basically open to the public and private realm, I would like to make something happen soon.

Any suggestions?

I cannot speak to PTLexamprep, but I can say that greenexamprep is fairly accurate when they claim that if you can score over 80% on their tests then you are probably pretty well prepared for the actual exam. Hang in there.

To all:
check out my new discussion group: townscapes, villagescapes

Yeah, you’re probably just over thinking it a little. I used the chart in the LEED AP Walkthrough, which is probably the same as the one on IntheLeed.com. I will say that there weren’t that many questions that related directly to project roles in the particular question pool that I had when I sat for the test (maybe 5), what I can say is that…[Read more]

Anyone still studying to pass under LEED 2.2:
There are 2 resources that I used to study that I think were critical to success, I think these have been mentioned before but If you’re on the fence about what resources to spend your money on here’s what I think are the two best values:

I have to throw my support behind Intheleed.com’s LEED AP…[Read more]

Hi again !!

Here is the blog of the conference I have mentioned you before “Ecological Urbanism”. Hope you find it useful. http://gsd-ecologicalurbanism.blogspot.com/

If anyone wants to discuss its content I will be glad to participate in the discussion.

Hope you are having a great beginning of spring !!

Dear Haris, I will be in Paris – great that we will meet there!

Hello everyone,
hope to meet some of you at the LE:NOTRE Workshop in Versailles where we can exchange our experience “in real time” :).

Camilo, thanks for the news. Hope, that similar events will be organized in Europe soon because the topic is really interesting.

Best wishes from the (still freezing and snowy) Olympic capital of Bosnia

Hello everyone !!

I wanted to share something that I found which I believe might be of interest for some of us. It is a conference that will be held in Harvard University called “Ecological Urbanism”.

Right now there is not so much information about it but It will be interesting to see what will result from it. I believe the concept of landscape…[Read more]

I am looking for some of your best exemples of rain garden project, rain managment etc. I am in a preparation of a seminar and will enjoy to see what is really happening outside my own practice. Please feel free to share informations and projects….

I got this picture from a book called “Riverscapes: designing urban embankments”and that was the location credited in the book. So maybe we should write to the publisher and tell them to correct it. Thanks for clarifying..I hope to be able to visit this beach in person soon. 🙂

I’ve been aware of SSI but hadn’t seen their latest report. Go to: http://www.sustainablesites.org
You’ll find a link to the report on the first page. I must say, the “documentation” requirements suggested in this report read like an undergraduate studio assignment for a year-long class. My recent work on a small LEED project looks like a total of…[Read more]

Does anyone know of a good source for construction details for ‘green’ design? I’d like to review these…
