That's the whole thing in a nutshell. It is very hard to make everyone involved hold up to the minimum performance levels. The only way it works is to be self regulating, but for that to work we wouldn't need all the govt intervention in the first place. “As a standard, minimum performance levels, for all criteria, must be achieved.”

They give businesses a green rating and identify ways they can improve their overall sustainability. I'm going to tell him about this great document. It would be a great resource for their enire business. Hopefully many many buildings are designed with these strategies in place. I used to work for a company where every window on the building was a solar panel. The lights came on automatically when you entered any room. I'd love to know how that stacks up against this standard. Thanks for sharing this news. I have a friend here in Australia that works for a company called GreenBiz Check.
