Hey Wha’ Happened?

You may have noticed Real Life LEED has taken a rather lengthy hiatus, and I feel like it probably time to fill you in. Since my last post I’ve left my position as a researcher at LS3P ASSOCIATES LTD., moved over a thousand miles from Charleston, SC to Cambridge, MA, and took a job as a High Performance Building Specialist in the Green Building Services unit at Harvard University. Please consider my current posting slackness within the context that I just had to move 1,000 miles north and it’s hard to type in the cold.

What does this mean? For one, I’ll be seeing a much higher volume of LEED projects and project reviews. Just today I was working on gathering all of our office’s GBCI reviews, combining them by credit, and then presenting to our group on common mistakes. Clearly this has blog post written all over it, but some of this material may go on Harvard’s Green Building Resource instead. We haven’t worked out the details yet, but I’m likely to be contributing to both websites as part of my day to day duties. Long time readers may remember a post on that very resource way back in 2008, but if you haven’t seen this before you should go right now!

Many thanks and much credit for the start of Real Life LEED should go to staff and management at LS3P… I wouldn’t have been able to do begin posting if they didn’t have a policy of sharing what they learn with the world, and I learned everything I know about LEED today from projects and coworkers there.

For the next month or so I suspect posting will still be pretty slow as I get settled, so please bear with me… Thanks for reading!

PS – I know some of you expected the Hey Wha Happened guy to be part of this post… you’re welcome!
