Source: iGreenBuild.com
Often targets for wrecking balls, existing older buildings are a recognized but sadly underutilized repository for lessons in history, technology, economics, social structure, culture, and on and on.

Solar Access Issues
By: Sonja Persram, BSc., MBA, LEED AP - Thursday, June 26, 2008
Source: Sustainable Alternatives Consulting Inc.
Given the energy crisis, access to the sun’s energy for our buildings is essential for enabling passive and active solar measures: for daylighting, hot water, electricity, and for heating and cooling spaces (building heating loads can be decreased by up to 50%[ii] according to the DOE EERE and up to 75% with aggressive measures according to the Whole Building Design Guide[iii]). Further, since data show daylight access is a vital factor to occupants’ health and productivity, we know that solar access also impacts their employers’ bottom lines.

If It Ain’t Broke, Break It!
By: Jerry Yudelson, PE, MS, MBA, LEED® AP - Thursday, June 26, 2008

Beginning next year, there will be an entirely new LEED system in place, according to moves in May by the USGBC Board of Directors. The long-expected LEED 2009 version is out for public comment; it deals with the four major rating systems currently in widespread commercial use: LEED for New Construction (and Major Renovations), LEED-NC; LEED for Core and Shell, LEED-CS; LEED for Commercial Interiors, LEED-CI; and LEED for Existing Buildings (Operation and Maintenance), LEED-EB.

No Carbon with my Chunky Fries Please!
By: Jerry Yudelson - Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Returning from the U.K. after another week of glorious weather (Global warming will make Merry Olde England quite more habitable, of course), I’d like to think I’ve seen the future of the debate in the U.S. over a low-carbon or zero-carbon future, and it’s as confusing as one could ever imagine.

A Grab Bag of Green Building News
By: Jerry Yudelson - Thursday, April 17, 2008
Source: iGreenBuild.com
The world’s largest new green building, the 3,000-room, $1.9 billion Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas received its LEED Silver rating and certificate in March. The huge resort is more than four times bigger than any other LEED-certified building, according to the US Green Building Council, which presented developer Las Vegas Sands Corp. with a LEED plaque at a recent awards ceremony. Coming soon, the Las Vegas City Center project, when completed in 2009, will boast the largest development of LEED Silver-certified projects, some 17 million sq.ft. (1.58 million sq.m.), representing some $7 billion of investment. As most of you know, everything in Las Vegas is on grand scale, now even green buildings. (In fairness, I should point out that the Chicago Merchandise Mart late last year received a LEED-EB Silver certification, making it the largest LEED project ever, at about 4.2 million square feet.)

High-wire Act: Delivering Green Projects on Conventional Budgets
By: Jerry Yudelson - Wednesday, January 30, 2008

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on how project teams are delivering high-performance projects, those that save 30% or more energy against the ASHRAE 2004 standard, with lots of daylighting and other green features.
