ROLE: LEED Consultant
(The US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
September 16th me and my classmates went on a nice little journey to the Banana Boat, a Winnipeg institution since 1977, located at 390 Osbourne S. On the site visit I assisted in measuring (with Madi & Steph) the Banana Boat interior to help create a floor plan and reflected ceiling plan. We divided the roles among us and I am now one of the the "LEED consultants".
I find the role interesting because it will provide an insight to this internationally recognized third-party verification system. I want to be able to identify and recommend practical green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions in my studio and future endeavors and contribute to a more sustainable building practice.
As it stands, indoor systems remain very mysterious to me. They affect every space I enter, and should affect the spaces I design in studio, but other than turning them on or off I have very little knowledge of how indoor systems work and how to design them to be more efficient and sustainable. I would like to learn a better understanding of detail drawings of these systems and gain the tools to create them for myself. In addition to indoor systems I would also like to gain knowledge of general building systems and construction so that I can more efficiently talk to and learn from engineers and architects now and in my future work and education.
