Going Big and Going Green

I spoke with the Developer, my boss actually, about our upcoming project to find some very cool ideas. Jarrett Newby has told me that the Dockside Village Project is going to be one of the first "Heavy Commercial" projects to be certified, by the U.S. Green Building Council under The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™, at the highest level possible. This is an unbelievable feat to occur in Morristown, New York, but also, it will be the one of the first of its kind, in the World. The design of the building and grounds were strictly scrutinized by the U.S. GBC to be qualified at this level. Use this link for more info on the U.S. GBC or the LEED program. Like I've said before, this buiding is going to be constructed faster than anyone can imagine. By using the Isulated Concrete Forms designed by IntegraSpec, the project not only will be constructed quicker than conventional building methods, it will also be an environmentally friendly project. We will have a website dedicated to the construction process and all other aspects of this project which will be available at docksidevillage1000islands dot com in the near future.
