Burning Down The House
Henry Gifford vs. The USGBC
This week on Burning Down the House Curtis addresses Henry Gifford (of Gifford Fuel Savings INC) and his claim that the US Green Building Council's system of rating how "green" a building is (the LEED system) is a scam, and does not actually translate into positive effects for the environment. To discuss this assertion LEED AP and architect Ryan Enschede calls in, who ultimately reminds us that what is important is constant innovation, no matter what system is used to measure progress.
