Saratoga County’s Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library Earns LEED Certification

Filed under: Real-Estate

The Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library, scarce to the northeast of Schenectady, late cleared conventional LEED certification from USGBC. The 55,000-square-foot project was designed by architects Woodard Connor Gillies & Seleman of Albany and opened to the public back in December of 2006. NYSERDA functioned as a proficient advisor on the project, which participated in the Fresh York Energy $mart Fresh Construction Program, and looked back the projected energy-writing features of the building proposed by the design team, which admited high-pitched-efficiency windows, extra insulation, effective lighting with occupancy control, effective HVAC systems, and a digitally mastered building management system. NYSERDA bade the project team fiscal incentives both for the extra costs of the energy savings features, as good as the LEED certification process itself. While there’s no data uncommitted on how the building has done since it opened up up, NYSERDA foretold that the project would return an yearly energy savings of around 382,000 kWh and cost savings of $55,000. Other greenish features let in topically-sourced brick and recycled-content morphological steel, carpet, and countertops. In 2007, the Modern York Library Association kicked in the project its “Undischarged Modern Library” award. It’s ill-defined what level of blackleging the project has garnered; we’ll trace up with more details if we’re able-bodied to delve them up, including any confirmation of the energy savings projections referenced in the NYSERDA link infr (more…)

It is the principal energy guzzling appliance in your home, downing a whacking 13.7% of house-hold energy, over 1000 Kilowatts of electricity a year, and closely five times the electricity of a color […]

EPIC 09 Takes the LEED

Filed under: Real-Estate

Some exciting news from our friends at EPIC : their 2009 honourable consumer show will be held at the brand young expansion space of the Vancouver Convention Centre. I have been waiting for the opportunity to start a peek inside the Aureate LEED building when it is finished, at present we can all be part of the first consumer event at the facility subject to the public.

Faring off their highly successful second show in April, they must be waiting a much prominent crowd next year, as the newfangled building is double as large as last year’s space. And next year’s dates, May 8th through 10th, are bang in the middle of the engagedest cruise ship weekend of the year, toting up a potential 20,000 visitors into the mix. What a courteous first impression for people from all over the world to wander into BC’s premier dark-green showcase.

Chris Livingstone, EPIC’s industrious evangelist and sales manager, must have been the surdest puting to work guy in vancouver’s sustainability scene this summer–we distinguished him and his colleagues at unnumerable local events including the Folk Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Feast of Fields. In the meantime the Toronto-free-based Gullible Surviving Show organization has been largely wanting from our community since the hastened and last-narrow event they held at GM place last March. I’m marveling if they will yet be backward.

Not sure what EPIC’s owner, the Globe Foundation , has up its sleeve, but hither is sure as shooting a very prominent clue: EPIC Dubai will be bound Feb 26 through 28, 2009. The event, a joint venture between Dubai-established gather SS Lootah and Globe Events Ltd., is being charged as "the premier show advancing honourable consumerism in the In-between East."
