Yes, Virginia, there is a Green Building Standards, and it will be here soon!
In case you are unaware, I am the Project Manager the BCGBS project for TerraLogos, and TL is the consultant hired to design, implement, and provide technical review assistance for the Standards.
After much revision and refinement, the Baltimore City Green Building Standards are finally on the way. The largest tasks in the last few months have been:
1. Making sure we avoid all of the implementation and administrative problems seen in other cities, while simultaneously
2. Complying with the unique Baltimore legal standards for program administration, and
3. Briefing the new leadership team in the Mayor’s office about all of the pertinent features and benefits of the Standards, and
4. Setting up all the software to support the web interface for the Standards.
All is finished now, except for #4, which is in process.
More to come!
