RE: LEED / green buildings

Thanks for sending the reference to the LEED building problems. I always suspected that the program was at least half BS. The proposal to measure energy use after a year of use sounds good.

I always wondered how much extra the building cost when putting a heavy roof of dirt garden on to it and how many leaks they had after the first good rain.
