Using Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Neighborhood Development in an Existing Community.
Date and time:
October 15, 2010 - 12:00pm - 1:30pm Presenters:
- John Van Heel, Citizens for a Loring Park Community Vice President and Land Use Chair
- Jillian DeCoursey, CURA Research Assistant
This past summer the Citizens for a Loring Park Community (CLPC) conducted a survey of the Loring Park neighborhood to evaluate the potential for part of the community to become Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) certified. The information collected this summer will be used to inform future planning for the neighborhood, including a master planning process this fall. In this presentation, project members shared their experience of applying LEED-ND to an existing urban community.
Topics addressed included:
- Conclusions and analysis from the Loring Park neighborhood study
- Advantages and disadvantages of LEED-ND in the context of an existing community
- Challenges of and strategies for collecting data
- LEED-ND as part of a master planning process
