Mid-Construction LEED Review

As you know, one of the most important aspects of LEED is the continual integration and discussion between Project Members throughout the project. Green Rater Bob Scott, LEED Consultant Katie Teare, Construction Supervisor Chris Kresge, and Landscape Architect Kristen Koehrn recently held a LEED Checklist review meeting to make sure we are still on schedule for the credits we are seeking, discussed any changes made to the plans, and decided how to best facilitate landscaping and site-sustainability credits.

A Jiffy Seal is placed between the concrete foundation and wood framing. This helps prevent pests from infiltrating the wood


The backyard will feature drought tolerant seagrass, permeable granite walkways, and native plantings.

The "Phase 2" compliance sticker is something you should look for on all cabinets and other composite-wood products you place in your home. Composite-woods often use formaldehyde-emitting resins to glue together, and the CARB Phase 2 label represents compliance with low-VOC emitting standards in California.
