So we took a trip to Little Rock to check out the cool things going on there involving LEED design. It seems Little rock is taking off while Memphis is soo slow in even getting involved. Some things that stick out in my mind were the business that loaned bikes to their employees (also had showers in the office). They collected rainwater to use for flushing the toilets landscape watering...and so on. Heifer uses a moat around the building to naturally bring a draft through the stair well so they don't have to condition it! There were some great features! In all it took up a Friday but I'm glad I went! we visited Heifer International, Clinton Memorial Library, and Winrock International.

Go LEED! The org I work for is trying to get LEED used for projects in Memphis (& other parts of West TN) when we get to the brick & mortar stage of them, that is. We hosted a forum for Conservation Design Forum out of IL back in Dec. '07 to talk about LEED design.
