Sustainability Engineering Case Study

06/16/2009 1:54 PM

Came across this site a little earlier and thought some of you might enjoy it. The company EllisDon has some consulting services, but I was wondering what you all thought of the case study they have. Among other things, they diverted 75% of their waste from landfill for one of their projects,

Diverting 75% of construction waste, aren't landfills supposed to be diverting 50% or more of their waste stream for compliance anyways. Besides LEED is just the current marketing scheme to sell the non-professional staff at higher billing rates for more profit. My corporation pushes for all the non-licensed (or not licenseable) semi-technical personnel, i.e. planner, project managers, etc.. to get LEED certification so they have some credentials to show on their resumes to fill the space like the engineers and architects do with their licenses (required by law), marketing thinks is sells better to have a lot of credentials to make up for valid licensure. LEED is the current construction wonder tonic.
