NY Times Picks on LEED
A front page article from The New York Times (August 31, 2009) takes aim at easy criticisms of LEED, namely picking on individual points for landscapes with native plants and architecture featuring floor-to-ceiling windows. How we wish the article would have included a discussion of a basic LEED structure’s most significant attribute — the fundamental commissioning prerequisite. Fundamental commissioning is the third-party verification process that ensures a structure’s systems specified are properly installed and operating efficiently. Quoting the USGBC LEED NC 2.2 Reference Guide, “A properly designed and executed Commissioning Plan may reduce errors and omissions in the design and installation process, improve coordination, reduce change orders, and generate substantial operational cost savings compared to systems that are not commissioned. Successful implementation of the commissioning process often yields improvements in energy efficiency of 5% to 10%.” Instead, The Times’ piece attempts to de-contextualize the kind (or amount) of materials, or HVAC systems spec’d in the particular (Ohio) project profiled.
Check out the Times story and look for our article “How to Take the LEED AP Exam” in the October issue of ddi magazine, a retail trade. There’s also a story on the first-ever LEED Platinum Retail project — a rundown of Hannaford’s new Augusta, Maine, supermarket.
Aileron Business Center, Dayton OH
We toured Thursday, July 23 from 10 to 11 am at the Aileron Center for Business Excellence just north of Dayton, OH. From all reports this is a “Can’t Miss” LEED Project and is!
The Branding Seminar ran from 8 to 10 am and included breakfast. Go to http://www.aileron.net/ for more information.
From their site, “About Aileron
In the words of Clay Mathile, former owner of The Iams Company, ‘To be a successful entrepreneur, you must have unwavering faith and commitment to your dreams, no matter how many obstacles are put in your path.’ Helping you achieve those dreams and becoming a champion of free enterprise are the foundation upon which Aileron was built.
Our mission is simple: to create an environment for owners of private enterprise to implement professional management. To achieve that mission, we’ve developed a variety of services tailored to the specific
needs of the private business owner. From a state-of-the-art campus and one-on-one consulting services to our popular Course for Presidents and other programs and workshops, you’ll find the resources you need to plan for a successful future.
Questions? Phone: Toll-Free: 1-888-880-6139 | Greater Dayton: 937-669-6500 | Email Mail: 8860 Wildcat Road, Dayton, OH 45371 | Fax: 937-667-4970″
Aileron is a good example of a green field project that is sensitive to the surroundings with native plantings, road side drainage gravel and sweeping mounds formed into the site.
The buildings are arranged in a U shape facing the sun with solar shading and a pond. The project’s materials include polished native limestone. The parking lot has three electric charging stations. Overall, Aileron is one of the finest regional examples Green Cincinnati has toured of a commercial building demonstrating sustainable building practices in a new structure which reflects its sustainable goals and is unified in its siting, construction and the purpose of the campus which is a business think tank and management coaching non-profit. It even processes all of its black water on site.
Metals - Recycled and Regional Credit Guide
Metal Recycling content and Regional extraction, harvesting and manufacturing locations may be difficult to determine or even to understand for your project. Here are some of the highlights of a letter Green Cincinnati prepared for American Metal Supply to assist their customers learning the basics of documentation as well as typical steel mill documentation available.
Dear LEED Project Documentation Manager
American Metal Supply can help you achieve your U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) project documentation goals. As you probably already know:
All steel may use the 25-percent DEFAULT RECYCLED CONTENT
Recycled content may be as high as 35-percent to 95-percent
Regional content may be as high as 60-percent to 100-percent
While we can guarantee the minimum 25-percent recycled content, we are committed to using the most efficient recycling mills to maximize the recycled percentages. We will also attempt to source within the 500 mile project radius to gain additional credits for regional content (This is driven by project and mill geography as well as availability of material from the optimal regional source.)
The intent of LEED Recycled Content is to increase the demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, thereby reducing impacts from extraction and processing of virgin materials.
25 Percent Default Steel Recycled Content - Until you receive your order’s documentation, LEED allows you to use 25 percent as the recycled content for steel. The average recycled content of rebar and most structural shapes (red iron) is around 95 percent. Average recycled content of light-gauge steel studs and other light-gauge framing is 35 percent. The LEED definition of recycled content encourages post-consumer recycled content. The LEED goals are to use materials with recycled content such as the sum of the post-consumer recycled content plus 1/2 of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10 percent based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project. One to two additional points may be earned for up to 20- to 30-percent. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components are excluded. If only a fraction of a product or material is recycled, then only that percentage (by weight) must contribute to the recycled value.
Definition: Post-Consumer Recycled Content - is the percentage of material in a product that was consumer waste. The recycled material was generated by household, commercial, industrial, or institutional end-users and can no longer be used for its intended purpose. It includes returns of materials from the distribution chain (ISO 14021). Examples include construction and demolition debris, materials collected though recycling programs, discarded products (e.g. furniture, cabinetry, decking), and landscaping waste (e.g. leaves, grass clippings, tree trimmings).
Definition: Pre-Consumer Recycled Content - formerly known as postindustrial content, is the percentage of material in a product that is recycled from manufacturing waste. Examples include planer shavings, sawdust, bagasse, walnut shells, culls, trimmed materials, over issue publications, and obsolete inventories. Excluded are rework, regrind, or scrap materials capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated them (ISO 14021), for example, foundry trees and scrap put back in the Electric Arc Furnace.
The intent of LEED Regional Content is to increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts from transportation.
Regional Content Percentage - There are no default standards for regional content percentages. With special attention to sourcing we can provide a high percentage to meet the regional content requirements of your project location. For example a local LEED Platinum project documented steel components with regional contents of 60-to 100-percent. The LEED goals are to use building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10%, based on cost of the total materials value. One to two additional points may be earned for up to 20- to 40-percent. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components are excluded. If only a fraction of a product or material is extracted, harvested, or recovered and manufactured locally, then only that percentage (by weight) must contribute to the regional value. Use the location from which they were salvaged as the point of extraction or harvest.
Definition: Regionally Extracted Materials - are raw materials taken from within 500-mile radius of the project site.
Definition: Regionally Manufactured Materials - are assembled as finished products within a 500-mile radius of the project site. Assembly does not include on-site assemble, erection, or installation of finished components.
We want to make it easier being green. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have or for presentations about LEED credit documentation. Thank you for your interest in American Metal Supply’s products and services. Complete documentation will be supplied with you order.

We had a wonderful summer evening at the Frank Lloyd Wright Boulter Residence in Clifton, 1 Rawson Woods Circle, 45220 supporting Rozanne.
Please support Roxanne and learn more about Cincinnati’s leading national role in the Urban Renewal movement. From Roxanne’s web site,
“A Strong Cincinnati Is Good for Everyone
Since returning to City Council in 2007, I have focused on initiatives that will build a strong Cincinnati by enhancing the quality of life in our neighborhoods, building a globally-competitive local economy, and responsibly managing city resources.
These efforts include:
• Building Great Neighborhoods - Cincinnati will soon have a new tool to revitalize our neighborhoods using an innovative, community-driven alternative to conventional zoning called form-based codes.
• Making Great Neighborhoods Great Places - Neighborhoods around the city, and cities across the country, are recognizing the need to transform our streets, making access for people, not cars, the priority, and creating destinations instead of raceways through town.
• Building a Transportation System - The current project to redesign the corridor from the Brent Spence Bridge to I-275 will have a profound impact on our city and the region. Council’s Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee is working to make sure the project captures the economic development opportunities for the city and the 15 neighborhoods that line the corridor.
• Homeless to Homes - The Homeless to Homes initiative will move Cincinnati’s single homeless men and women from the streets to homes.
Event sponsored by Janet Groeber and Chuck Lohre.
About the Boulter House
Noted American architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed the four-bedroom Boulter House in 1954 near the end of his life.
Completed in 1956, it’s one of four Wright designs in Cincinnati. The Boulter family occupied this “Unsonian” style home (a term Wright coined for his vision of “democratic” well-designed residences — with simplified construction methods — for the country’s growing middle class) for the next 33 years.
A 44-by 18-ft “great room” makes up the first floor and features Wright-designed built-in features, such as a 24-ft long banquette as well his designs for occasional tables, a dining table and other seating. This living area opens to a 40-ft long wall of 10-ft high windows facing south, which also offers the home passive solar heat . The current owners are undertaking a landscape restoration and have already restored the home’s compact “work space,” Wright-speak for the kitchen. A second floor overlooking the first, contains four bedrooms and the three-room bathroom suite.
About Form Based Code from the Glaserworks Architecture and Urban Design website http://www.glaserworks.com/www3/MixedUseStudio/fb-code.html:
“What is Form-Based Code?
A Form Based Code is a combination of a Zoning Code and a set of Subdivision Regulations that enable communities, developers, planners and governments to build neighborhoods of character based on form.
Form Based Codes typically value the form (massing, scale, placement and architectural design) of buildings more than the uses residing within the buildings themselves. The precept of Form Based Codes is that comfortable, high quality public places (e.g. -street corridors, intersections, plazas, parks, etc.) are created by the buildings that form them. Form Based Codes are usually employed to encourage walkable, mixed use development in specified urban or suburban areas.
Communities like Form Based Codes because they require property owners, developers and governments to follow rules in the design and development of each property of an area that will result in the creation of an urbane environment - one where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Communities like Form based Codes because they encourage what the community views as preferable development - by both the public and private sector.
Developers like Form Based Codes because they ensure that property they do not control, but that is in the same area, will be designed and developed in a like-minded manner.
Developers like Form Based Codes because they can rely on a predictable, and usually shorter, entitlement process. Developers also like Form Based Codes because they require governments to design and build street corridors to specific standards of urban quality and scale.”
