Thanks for posting these sketches. They are beautifully drafted and clearly present your ideas. I will be practicing with these techniques.

Andrew,

I love this idea.  And I’m somewhat familiar with the language and the customs.  I’m a bit short on time for the effort, but I would be interested to know if you find such an effort already in place in Japan.  Please keep us updated.

Thanks for posting.

Dan

This is a good question.  I think today, especially with federal government requirements trickling down to local government and into the private sector, I think LEED qualifications are becoming a necessity.  Not they we are being paid more for the recognition, but because NOT having it becomes a barrier.  I am not yet certified in LEED, but I have been on several federal projects where I was part of the team.  Because competition for projects is becoming more tough, LEED certified teams are winning the projects over those that are not fully certified, in my experience.
