June 28, 2006—The Governor’s Office of Energy Management and Conservation (OEMC) in Denver, Co., has released a new guide to help building owners and design teams build better, more energy efficient buildings in Colorado.
“Using LEED-NC in Colorado: Tips, Resources & Examples” is now available at no cost, on the OEMC website.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, was developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) and is the standard for green building rating systems.
This Guide provides recent examples of green buildings in Colorado. It shows how building managers and designers can use the LEED rating system to consider practical, cost-effective features for new construction, and that incorporating smart design doesn’t have to cost more than conventional buildings.
