USGBC OKC

October 12, 2005

Christa and I attended a meeting of the Oklahoma Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council tonight. It was quite interesting. The chapter is just starting up, and while it may have over 100 people on the mailing list, far fewer people showed up at the monthly meeting tonight (about 12). It’s kinda cool to be in on the beginning of a new era in design and construction here in Oklahoma.

Hopefully we can stay involved in the chapter. One slight problem is that neither of us can be full USGBC members, since neither Oklahoma Christian nor the City of Oklahoma City are members, and the USGBC does not allow individual memberships (unfortunately). I’d love if we could both become LEED certified in the near futuer (if that’s even possible for a student), but I think it would be wonderful for both of our careers. We shall see.

Why not approach your boss about the city becoming a member and propose you be their representative.

You hear about the new LEED Neighborhood Design standards being proposed as a joint CNU-USGBC venture? Sounds awesome.
