Harvard now has 50 LEED certified buildings. 

A. That’s pretty cool
B. That’s even more cool because I can say that I had a very small role in making that happen!

You wouldn’t believe some of the things that people / a building need to go through and do in order to become LEED certified. I learned a lot about the process. Including the fact that even though a building is LEED certified, a lot of the time that doesn’t make it that much more efficient. Even though that is the goal. 

I also learned that there are a lot of buildings that are insanely efficient that aren’t LEED certified. It is a really labor intensive process to become LEED certified. Sometimes it is a lot more work to go through the trouble to prove something than to just be something. 

Either way. I counted hybrid parking spaces. I photo shopped diagrams. I registered information. I attended meetings. I helped an eentsy weentsy itty little bit.
