So we had our Green Charette meeting and was that ever so interesting. I was told beforehand from an Architect buddy’s friend that this meeting is what all the consultants must go through. As LEED is still pretty new and most people don’t know what is going on we were lead through a powerpoint presentation. From what I saw the Mechanical Engineers and Architect have the most say in obtaining LEED points. Us, as Civils, basically meet the LA City SUSMP requirements to meet our LEED points. Just like I thought we don’t have any say in what goes on. I will update this slowly as I think about the meeting more.

We are doing a LEED for New Construction application for this project. I learned a lot at this meeting and have a ton of notes to pilfer through before posting more.

Civil Development in Los Angeles is the blog title.  We will still be pretty focused on the engineering sector in Southern California, especially anything related to greening or LEED for a project.  I will have a few non engineering related posts such as the ATI bios fix as I would like to post some useful information that can still be used in this sector.

We have recently been approved to start work on a new project in Downtown LA.  This will be our second larger LEED project.  I will be very interested in seeing how this ties into the new California environmental codes, called CalGreen.  A little more info on CalGreen located at http://civildevelopmentgroup.com/blog/rx4
