My head is still trying to recoup after taking both C and E for the first time…

Dean Howell posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 5 months ago

I took section C. My plan was to get through the test on my trace without putting it on the test sheets. Get them worked out and leave the labeling and all that for the end. I thought it was a good plan since I got through it with a few hours to spare. I checked them over and then started putting them from my trace onto the sheets. With about an…[Read more]

Does anybody have any experience with LEED projects in India? We are working on a possible LEED ND project in Tamil Nadu and I’m not sure how some of the US requirements will transfer over there. Is the USGBC pretty amenable to adjusting the prerequisites based on differences in infrastructure systems?
(N.B., I’m going to repeat this question over…[Read more]

Hi all, since i’ve dabbled into the ME market, i believe it would be a good thing to join the group for all what its worth. Even though some may consider the market is slowing down, from my observation is that there are still plenty of works around. Have a nice day y’all.

Glenn, and all
True that clients like to see green plants in the summer. Which is why some designers advocate a mix of native (80%) and non-native (20%) plants. The non-natives – which may require some summer water – stay green while the natives go summer brown.

Jon Q. asked about construction documents for green street work. After mining Portland’s BES site, i found a lot. Very helpful.

Once upon a time, the reference manual had symbols for plants used in planting plan vignettes. These disappeared in 2006. I suspect this is what you may be referring to.

Susannah,

One vignette solution showed a swale constructed entirely in fill adjacent to a road. There was clearly no need for a swale given the existing topo depicted. They also…[Read more]

Why do you say that?

Ray Freeman posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 6 months ago

I’ve looked at SOME of the Section E material from Shake-n-Bake.
It was pretty bad.

Susannah posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 6 months ago

I have used the Section C material. It’s pretty good.

Glenn Kranich posted an update in the group California Native Plants 14 years, 6 months ago

Since many of our native plants go dormant in the summer as a survival technique to dry summers, I’m saying “advantageous for the summer-dry months” as it relates to the clients who prefer to see green plants and leaves still hanging onto their Buckeyes. Alternatively, Juncus, Western Sword Fern, and Iris, for instance, often receive summer water…[Read more]

Glenn Do you really need to irrigate these plants that you mention in summer? They are native to N California, and so in a “natural” context do not get any summer water. Why would you need to irrigate them in a cultured situation?

Charles A. Warsinske posted an update in the group Living Roofs and Walls 14 years, 6 months ago

Our office has done several green roofs and are now working on a project where I want to do both green roofs and green walls. I have a pretty good handle on the roofs, but have been having a tough time getting the green wall people to respond with samples of their products. I have offered to buy the samples but so far they have not responded. I’m…[Read more]
