Has anyone had experience with the development of or been an advocate
for a green project that does not include an enclosed building space?
Roxie,
The Sustainable Design Guidelines for the World Trade Center include
information on a number of green features that are not within buildings.
The web address is
http://www.renewnyc.com/content/pdfs/Cultural_Sustainable_Design_Guidelines.pdf.
The reference manual for these guidelines is unique among similar products
because it includes background information on why issues are important and
how requirements have evolved over time:

Has anyone had experience with the development of or been an advocate
for a green project that does not include an enclosed building space?
There are many segments of the construction industry outside the
building design segment that can incorporate a number of the LEED or
other green build program criteria. However; from my experience getting
these projects certified by a green build program (whether it be LEED or
other regional green build program) is difficult (if not impossible)
since they do not meet the prerequisites that deal specifically with
enclosed buildings.
Does anyone know if LEED or other programs are moving toward development
of a program that addresses the unique needs of projects such as roads,
ports, marinas, parks, parkways, etc....?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Roxie

Yes! The USGBC has been looking at LEED for parks, public works "outdoor"
projects, etc. The ASLA has also been involved. I do not know if you can
find info about this on the USGBC website or not. Not sure where this
stands
with the plan to reformulate all the LEED systems under 1 "bookshelf"
system
in 2009.
There is also the LEED for multiple buildings & campuses application guide
that is typically used as an overlay to LEED-NC but can also be used with
LEED-CS and possibly other LEED systems as well. This overlay helps with
bigger sites with multiple buildings but is still meant for building
projects with sitework.
LEED was just obtained on a parking garage in Santa Monica, CA. And we are
considering using it on an underground parking garage.
Cheers,
Ralph

Dear Ralph:
Interesting thing to note about underground parking garages.
Sometimes monitoring and control using the detection of carbon monoxide is
used for demand controlled ventilation to balance the indoor air quality
with the energy use.
Unfortunately, relying just on carbon monoxide fails to dilute and remove
the other air contaminants from motor vehicles (e.g., unburned
hydrocarbons, aldehydes, etc.), but the simultaneous monitoring for both
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can be used to provide a healthier
indoor environment by being responsive to the presence of all of the cars,
as opposed to just those without a properly functioning catalytic converter
that is converting the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
Sincerely,
David
