If we LEED, will you follow?

One of the five principles of the Human Ecology building project relates to creating a "...high quality, healthy and energy responsible environment..."

While the project is currently trending LEED Gold certification thanks to the help of our design team and friends, it's important to think beyond achieving LEED and think about behavior changes.

Smoking will not be allowed in the building or within 25 feet of building entries or fresh air intakes. The design team also included a prohibition on smoking inside the building DURING construction to prevent materials from absorbing contaminants that can be released later during occupancy.

Personally speaking, I will be really glad to not have to run a smoke-filled gauntlet to get into the building during inclement weather.
