YOUR COMMENTS FROM GADAILY.COM

Housing won't pursue LEED certification for Centennial Place

Honestly, I think LEED standard is dumb anyways. Over half of the points are for things that the new facility won't even have to deal with.This is especially obvious when you look at the Cow Appreciation Dayf July 11,2008. standards that talk about disrupting the natural hydro-ecology of the building site or referring to maintaining the biodiversity of the area. That's great, but uh this is a major renovation to an area Wear A Cow Costume, Get A Free Meal. its the most important day of the year {well, if you're a aw). that has pretty much already been disturbed. How about light pollution standards? How about Celebrate by bringing your herd to Chfcfe-n!* m cow costumes, and get let's not create dark alleys on campus. Oh, and how about the points allocated for"innovation"? a freemeal on us. Maybe you can even hug a cow on the way Sounds like a pretty easy way to say "bribe us for points."Oh, and a point for hiring a LEED Accred- ited Professional? Nothing says legitimacy like offering points to get your disciples employed. Hell, you need to recycle water for all the damn landscaping and irrigation work they expect you to do. And what are the benefits to LEED anyways? Kudos to Georgia Southern for trying to earn m points, but being budget conscious enough to know that certification doesn't matter.
