Steck (warren) Buffet update




Work on the buffets has been slow going. There have been set backs as well as design challenges that have kept us scratching our heads. However, we can now officially prove that things are moving forward as the buffet end panels are finally complete. As usual it took longer than we anticipated. The coming weeks most likely will slow up a bit as both Jeff and Mike are planning on testing to become LEED accredited professionals. Matt will be also be testing in the near future as time allows. For those not familiar with the subject, LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design". LEED encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. It is a third party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
