nice rug
My daughter bought one and liked the looks of it for my beach house.Read More
Just like the description!!
This is a 100% Jute rug (says so on the tag) and matches the description and picture perfectly!! What an amazing price for the size also! 8x10 for $$$ you can't go wrong. No smell, fast delivery and it looks great!Read More
Exactly as described
Does leave the residue on the floor as people have mentioned but it cleans right up. Really good value for a quality rug and it's beautifulRead More
Nice & Beefy
This is a nice thick rug, perfect for what I needed. Yes, it sheds, but I'm sure after awhile that will calm down, particularly if you shake it out before putting it down. All in all, an excellent deal for the money!Read More
good quality as expected I would buy it again.Read More
Be Careful
This rug is actually jute not sisal. The description says sisal weave which is accurate but if you want a sisal rug this is not it. On the good side, it is very soft and thick. It would go well in a casual setting. On the downside, it contains an extraordinary amount of dust. If you or family members are allergic....beware. I returned it because I wanted sisal and hated the dust.Read More
Nice, soft underfoot but repeatedly sheds dirt!
I've had it for 20 months and the edges are stretching and the weave is beginning to come apart. Also the black dirt still sheds onto my hardwoods, kind of nasty!Read More
Stinky rug
Rug was as pictured, very rustic, with streaks of gray, dark and light tan, not one uniform color. It was well constructed and heavy, so you dont need a rug pad underneath. The problem I had was that the mildew smell lessened with time but didnt completely go away, despite leaving it to air out in the garage an entire week and then putting it in inside the house, which stunk up both stories. I had to remove it finally; I wouldnt recommend this oneRead More
The negative reviews are true.
I read the reviews and decided I'd give it a try. Bad idea. Looked great at first. Received many compliments. Had a very strong odor that remained. Can't be vacuumed without knots coming unwoven and I use a Dyson. Sheds really badly. I have dogs but noticed I would have to vacuum ever other day due to huge piles forming in corners and under furniture. Its natural fiber also sheds a dark dusty film under the rug. So you have to regularly roll up the rug and clean underneath. Only had for 7 months and it got tossed to the curb. It's a very thick rough rug. One side has deeper knots which should've been the topside. These knots made it uncomfortable to sit on and walk across. Couldn't walk across in heels or it would snag the knots. The fibers also cover your clothing if you lay or sit on it. Hard to get off afterwards. Very rough with sharp pieces in the knots. I have a 1 year old and it wasn't a material I would've preferred. It looked great for the first couple of months until the knots starting coming undone and you have to roll them up and tuck them back in constantly. It was able to handle many spills without leaving rings. The price was the why I purchased it but looking back I would pass on this one for a higher quality. Maybe something with a thinner pile thickness and mixture of cotton/chenille/jute or and indoor/outdoor jute.Read More
Terrific Rug!
I had been looking for a sisal rug for my dining room for months and after reading some reviews I decided to go for it. It's perfect -- exactly what I was looking for. The weave is softer than I thought it would be, which was a pleasant surprise. There was no odor - which some of the reviewers spoke of . The price is unbeatable -- and the shipping only took a few days. I've already received compliments on how well it looks on the dark hardwood floor -- it really warmed it up.Read More
Questions & Answers
stunnung and a great price
saw in friend's home and loved it
Does this rug come in an 8' Round?
Hello cathycanoe, this rug is currently unavailable in an 8 foot round. However, we do have it in an 8 foot square. It can be found at item # 13303818 - Thank you for shopping with us!
I would like this Jute rug in an 8' round. Is it available?
Hello cathycanoe, this rug is currently not available in an 8 foot round. Thank you for shopping with us!
Where was this made?
Hello maltzi, we appreciate your inquiry. This item was made in China. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!
I'm thinking of using this in my family room, there is a lot of foot traffic. Will it hold up and can you vacuum this rug?
Hello , I really like this rug! This rug is very durable and would work great in a family room. Yes, this can be vacuumed, I have included a link to the cleaning instructions below. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us. http://www.overstock.com/guides/how-to-clean-your-area-rugs
I vacuum the rug without the beater bar on. You can use it for a high traffic area. The rug does have areas where the jute loops come up but I just tuck it back under. If you have a dog, like I do, be careful because there nails will pull the loops up. Hope that helps.
This rug is very thick and chunky and will hold up to foot traffic however the loops do unravel. I tuck them back under the rug but every time I vacuum it brings them back up. It can be a nuisance.
i don't recommend it. I have two kids and a large dog; they would destroy this within a year….I purchased it and placed it in my guest room under the bed (8 x 10) it's absolutely gorgeous!
Am considering this rug for my dining room. Other reviewers talked about thickness /chinkiness . Would this work in dining room and allow chairs to be moved back from table?
Hello kcorning19, This rug has received excellent reviews! Yes, this rug would work great in your dining room. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
I would not recommend it for the dining room. The loops in this rug are already unraveling and I've only had it for a week. I think your dining chairs would get caught in the loops and pull them out.
chairs will not scoot back and forth on this rug without pulling the jute and snagging it. I placed it under a queen size bed so minimal traffic.
Does this rug come in ;8x8 size
No, that is one of the only sizes it doesn't come in. It comes in a 6 x 9 as well as many other sizes. To see these sizes, type Hand-woven Weaves Natural-colored Fine Sisal Rug into the Overstock search bar and it will bring up all the sizes this rug is available in.
Does this rug need a pad so it won't slip
: We recommend the use of a non-skid pad to keep the rug in place on smooth surfaces.
Shopping Guides
How to Size Your Room For an Area Rug

However, if it's too big or too small, it may leave the impression of an unfinished or poorly decorated room. Before you start shopping for area rugs, you'll want to size the room. This guide will help you to select the right size rug in any room.

Chasing The Muse
What's All This About?
Successful writers have two common behaviors. First, they write a lot. Second, they seek out honest criticism.
The fact is, it's hard to improve your writing unless you are read, regularly.
The Naperville Writers Group offers you the opportunity to develop your craft and receive thoughtful, positive and useful critiques. Our members come from throughout the Chicago area and range from published, award-winning writers to those who write only for pleasure.
As an NWG member you'll find that you write more, and with growing confidence, with a little help from your fellow practitioners.
Writers are invited to attend a few meetings to see how we operate. We meet every Wednesday evening on the campus of North Central College in Naperville.
Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 1st, 2015 at 7:00 PM. Visitors are welcome. Please see About Us for our location and other meeting details.
It's Pronounced "En-Wig"
No stuffed shirts here.
We love to write, and to read, and we prefer to be around others who love to write and read.
So, while our regular meetings end at 9PM, the irregular meeting starts right afterward and goes until the wait staff throws us out. Looking for lively conversation? You've found it!
Check Us Out!
Attend a meeting and see for yourself. Join in the discussion and, when you're ready, become a member and present some of your work to the group.
Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 1st, 2015 at 7:00 PM. Visitors are welcome. Please see About Us for our location and other meeting details.

Our new devotional "If God Loves Me, Why Did I Lose My Job?" explores the struggle of unemployment. Sign up here.
4:2 you do not ask. That is, "you do not ask" from "God, who gives generously to all" (1:5). Envy is a sin against God. It flows from a lack of gratitude toward God who bestows gifts upon His people. It also results from a failure to seek one's own gifts from God rather than from the world.

If I park and take the shuttle to the game, is that $7 per person or car? Is there cheaper parking about a mile away from the stadium and do you think it will be filled up?
It won't be hard to find parking this year & yes it's $7/person.
The official lots still have availability @ $30: http://bit.ly/UvuAwG
Aside from the "official lots", there is lots and lots of parking in downtown Jacksonville,
14,000+ parking spots, to be exact...more if you include the Southbank ;)

No guys the Hurricane i have here is the E-Flite 25e one, i have not heard of any more micros at this stage
as for the reason behind this plane i think some have hit it on the head, not everyone can afford or want a plane like the Sbach as it is beyond their skill/price range, BUT! they do like the "Looks" of a racer so this is an entry level style racer thats cheap to buy and a lot will already have the batteries for it, i think it will sell well
I must admit when first announced i thought the same as you guys Why! when the Sbach has come out, but when thinking logical it makes sense

Something to keep in mind RE the Polecat vs Sbach, according to horizon, the Polecat weighs in at 1.25 oz (35.3g) (stated flying weight, I'm assuming that includes the battery) , and the Sbach 1.95 oz (55g) without battery, or add another 13 grams for it's two cell to total out to 68 grams, almost twice the weight of the 'cat! It's also lighter than the trojan by 3.5 grams, and the same weight as the 4-site.
Plus, the cat looks to have a pretty thin wing profile, vs. the Sbach, as well as a more aerodynamic fuse. Even if she's slower, I doubt it will be by much. The Sbach gets there with a $180 worth of brushless, two cell muscle, whereas the polecat looks to get there with efficient aerodynamics and weight. My guess is the limiting factor will be the champ prop. Throw on a higher pitch/lower diameter, and your in for a ride. It might still be out run by a sbach (sporting twice as much power!) but it will still be the fastest of the parkzone birds by a wide margin.
Another way to look at it: embrace the brushed motor as a factory spec, required for league racing (formula micro?). Now it becomes more about the racing than going for raw speed.
Edit: Chucks reply came in as I was typing, but I agree that looks and price are big factors here. personally, I'm hoping she's less of a handful than the UMX birds or the 26 XP, but still is able to punch through the wind. That said, I'm Looking forward to hearing back on your maiden chuck!

lads this planes profile looks awesome
i wasn't expecting the truck till about 11am, i had just got out the shower, so it's arrived early, i have to just finish hanging the washing, then i'll pop down the street for supplies for the weekend, then it's home a a few photos for you to have a good look at this one
AggressorBLUE, i agree and i tell ya this plane is slick too, i'll get some close ups of it with the XP so all can see, well i'll go finish my jobs and get on with it
cheers chuck
|Jun 30, 2011, 06:58 PM
Well said blue!!!
|Jun 30, 2011, 08:21 PM
hung the washing but said "dam It' to the shops i'll go later
heres the first lot of photos for you guys to look at
the foam is near smooth "ALL" over the molding marks are very few, this plane is slightly bigger than the XP, it has smaller Ailerons , Rudder and Elevator, bigger wing area, Tail area, oh! did i mention this plane looks "Awesome!"
anyway heres a few photos i'm off to the shops now
cheers chuck
|Jun 30, 2011, 08:30 PM
Great pics Chuck! Thanks for this, I can't wait for you unbox vid and maiden flight report! What a sharp looking little bird!
|Jun 30, 2011, 08:58 PM
Wow, looks awesome!! However I am not sure why it would be any faster than the SU-26 XP as the wing looks about the same thickness. I do like the fact that it is longer and has a slightly larger wingspan. The paint looks great and the bottom stripes are exactly what I prefer on the bottom of a wing. I am sure I will have to buy one

It does look fantastic, and finally HH has learnt to mold these foamies properly. However, I cannot help thinking how redundant this plane is today. With the SBach, and the market flooded with XP bargains, the number of potential buyers is very limited. Yes, it will be easier to fly indoors, but the SBach offer so much more versatility.
Anyway, it's the same .... in a new wrapping, Arnold probably didn't spend too much time making it happen, and maybe I'm wrong and it will sell like hot cakes, you never know, however, I believe they could have spent the R&D more wisely. Seth, if you are listening, do a Dornier 335 'Arrow' with the Mossie brick, that would bring bragging rights back to the UM line!
|Jun 30, 2011, 09:20 PM
We're on the cusp of another improvement for UMs that's another order of magnitude or better over what we've seen over the last few years.

My next UM plane... Damn these things are like collecting Hotwheels as a child.. I just can't stop
|Jul 01, 2011, 12:24 AM
definitely a good lookin' plane...I'm a sucka for red-white-blue
are we given any time lines regarding these little guys arriving at our LHS... late summer or fall... or Christmas'ish?
thanks for the pics Chuck, looking forward to your vid!
****UPDATE**** should be avail mid July per Seth in this vid (at about the 8 min mark)
|Jul 01, 2011, 03:13 AM
That finish looks much better that early UMs. Still not sure she will be much different than the XP, Chuck - get back from the shops damnit!
|Jul 01, 2011, 04:06 AM
Beautiful, so happy they continue to churn out Ultra micros, saves me having to build balsa ones with Cox TD.010's (mind you that is great to do also)

I understand the coreless route (cost) however I think an AP05 will look real nice in this Polecat!

Pedophilia hysteria I guess. Of course, the funny thing is that we were there primarily to take photos of the rides lit up at night.

Paramount, Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes to Reteam With 'Almanac' Writers (Exclusive)
Paramount Pictures is set to reteam with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes and writers Jason Pagan and Andrew Stark on the high-concept handheld-camera thriller Raindrop.
The studio, which recently wrapped production on Pagan and Stark's $13 million thriller Almanac, nabbed the Raindrop pitch pre-emptively.
The project is described as a sci-fi thriller with a teenage protagonist that will employ innovative handheld camera work similar to that seen in the Dean Israelite-helmed Almanac, which also was produced by Platinum Dunes and will be released by Paramount on Feb. 28, 2014.
Almanac follows in a string of low-budget handheld-camera films, including the Paranormal Activity franchise, that has become a hallmark of Paramount president Adam Goodman's tenure.
Plot details on Raindrop are being kept under wraps, but insiders say it is being envisioned with a slightly higher budget than that of Almanac. Bay is producing Raindrop via his first-look deal with the studio.
Pagan and Stark are repped by WME, manager Trevor Engelson at Underground and attorney Andrew Hurwitz.

Say "No Mas!" To Segmenting Your PR Strategy
Most marketers are paying attention to multicultural audiences and, in particular, U.S. Hispanics. No wonder: with 131 Hispanic babies born every hour into a population that represents $1.2 trillion in purchasing power, Hispanics are an important consumer group for companies to reach.
Companies are being urged to incorporate a "total market approach" meaning they should consider a cross-cultural approach to marketing – one that taps into universal truths, rather than specific ethnic groups. In theory, if this approach is deployed correctly, it allows organizations to influence and reach all consumers – not just one segment of the population. However, what many do not realize is that even if your company employs a total market approach, your strategy can fall apart once it's turned over to PR.
If you are utilizing a total market approach, your PR strategies must be aligned. Here are tips to ensure you're covering all bases:
- Understand the audience: The majority of Hispanics, specifically millennial Hispanics, consider themselves "ambicultural" – meaning they feel 100% Latino and 100% American and are easily able to switch from one culture to another. This cultural duality creates an appetite for all things Hispanic. Total market PR campaigns and communications should be culturally relevant and reflective of this Latino-American life. A reminder to stay devoid of stereotypes and sensitivities by doing research beforehand.
- Get your PR teams talking: If you represent a large organization or brand, you most likely have two PR agencies or teams – one exclusively handling your multicultural outreach that works within its own silo. If you are managing multiple PR agencies, make sure teams are coordinated and utilize a cross-cultural strategy. Total market PR campaigns that share a common cultural thread – a Hispanic spokesperson or a nod to a Hispanic passion point (e.g., multi-generational families, Latin-inspired music or food) can prove to be more effective with all audiences – not just Hispanics.
- Reach your audience where it consumes content: The media industry now includes more than 100 networks dedicated to Hispanic programming – with hundreds upon hundreds of print, radio and online media outlets targeted to this audience. Don't exclude media outlets that may only target Spanish-speaking Hispanics or similarly, English-speaking consumers, in general. A lot of Hispanics consume content in both languages so it's likely to have more of an impact if you get your message in both.
It's also important to know that Hispanics watch 62 percent more digital video than non-Hispanics – about six hours of video per month on their mobile phones according to Nielsen. And according to eMarketer, 72 percent of Hispanic Internet users will use social networking in 2014 vs. 68 percent of the total population. For these ultra-engaged Hispanics, digital and social media offer an immediate way to start a fruitful dialogue.
Successful PR lasts beyond a campaign or project. Similarly, total market PR initiatives should be consistent and continuous with audiences. Look beyond short-term ROI and consider engaging Hispanics with long-term communications. Known for their considerable loyalty to brands, this will prove worthwhile in the end.
Food for Thought: How Advertisers Can Stoke Super Bowl Buzz Year Round
When it comes to reaching a mass audience, TV is the undisputed king of all media (sorry, Howard Stern). Or is it? In this column, originally published in Adweek, Radha Subramanyam of Clear Channel Media and Entertainment demonstrates how radio delivers not only reach, but receptivity and the sense of community consumers want. Read on for insights on how marketers can create Super Bowl-style results with the original social medium:
How Advertisers Can Stoke Super Bowl Buzz Year Round
Look to radio for reach, receptivity and community By Radha Subramanyam
Football fans around the country geared up for weeks before last Sunday's Super Bowl between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers and their opposing coaches—brothers Jim and John Harbaugh, who took sibling rivalry to new heights.
The big game did not disappoint.
From the power outage to the 49ers mounting an almost-comeback to that electric Beyoncé performance—there was no shortage of drama. And the commercials were no exception.
For marketers, advertising during the Super Bowl is a once-a-year moment of unprecedented reach and consumer attention. Never does advertising have a more captive audience. But most brands can't afford the $3.8 million it takes to buy just a 30-second spot. What's more, everyday TV buys don't come close to generating the awareness of a Super Bowl spot—and in fact, can be a fumble for brands.
The magic of the Super Bowl ad spectacle is that rare alchemy of reach, receptivity and community. Don't underestimate the power of community; at a time when we are more plugged in than ever through email, Twitter and Facebook, what many of us actually yearn for is to feel really connected. That's the feeling we get when we're sitting around the living room with family and friends, engaged in a common experience—like the Super Bowl. But if you want to achieve Super Bowl-sized results all year, radio is the only medium that delivers a Super Bowl kind of reach, receptivity and community year round.

Truth and Privacy in Advertising – Is it 'Mission: Impossible?'
As the advertising world continues to collide with the digital age, issues of consumer privacy and truthfulness in marketing are at the forefront of everyone's minds. These were the topics addressed in an Advertising Week event Thursday evening hosted by MediaCom, Davis & Gilbert LLP, and Idevoita at the Liberty Theater in New York.
Following an introduction by MediaCom U.S. CEO Sasha Savic, Jonathan Salem Baskin – who co-authored the newly-published Tell The Truth with MediaCom's own Sue Unerman – shared his views on the relationship between transparency, purchaser data, and the emergence of "brand truth" as a basis for effective customer relationships. He discussed why it is so important for brands to be honest and forthcoming with consumers, especially in today's world where brands don't only talk TO consumers, but also WITH them via social channels. The consumer has more power now than ever before, and advertisers can use this as an asset when they correctly – and honestly – engage with the buying public.
Also part of the presentation was a conversation between Ronald Urbach, Chairman of the law firm Davis & Gilbert, and FTC Commissioner Julie Brill. They addressed a wide range of topics critical to the advertising industry, from privacy to data collection and security, citing specific examples and particular responsibilities of the government agency.
The packed theater was addressed by the real life Frank Abagnale, who was famously portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the big screen classic "Catch Me If You Can." Abignale told his life story from teenage runaway turned identity thief to convicted criminal and FBI informant and academy instructor.
Following the event was a cocktail reception at Lucille's (inside B.B. King's Blues Club) sponsored by MediaCom and Evidon.
What do you think are the biggest issues regarding privacy and advertising? What brands do you think "tell the truth" the best? Or the worst? Share your thoughts below.
DGC Rewind
This is the first in a series titled "DGC Rewind", pioneered and written by our summer intern, Julia Tomasek.
Before finding our niches in the whirlwind world of PR, many of us here at DGC have experienced an array of previous jobs that were interesting, unexpected, and even humorous, helping to enrich our already effervescent office environment.
By digging into the past employment of my fellow coworkers, I aim to showcase the diverse pool of characters we have working here at DiGennaro Communications. The "DGC Rewind" blog series will introduce readers to the multi-faceted experiences of my coworkers that shaped the unique, hard-working individuals they are today.
DGC founder Sam DiGennaro (aka Sammy D) used to spend her college summers supervising rowdy kids as well as manning a mini-bus to transport them to and from "the world's best day camp." A favorite among campers and counselors alike, Sam had patience and bottomless energy, two traits that won her the "Counselor of the Year" title at the camp.
Sam's "celebrity" status at the camp even landed her a spot in their national commercial, where she was shown directing her troops into the mini-bus she drove, transporting them to a typical fun-filled day at camp. (See video at 0:09).
DGC's President, Howard Schacter, also has a noteworthy occupational past. In the mid-90's, Howard's sports-marketing/PR job sent him on a month-long journey to the Maui Invitational NCAA Basketball Tournament–all expenses paid. It was an ideal trip for the self-proclaimed basketball junkie, providing Howard the opportunity to meet some of his favorite players and coaches like Dean Smith and Bob Knight.
Above, DGC's Howard Schacter presides over a press conference with University of North Carolina's Coach Dean Smith and guard Jeff MacInnis at the 1995 NCAA Maui Invitational.
However, the saying "work hard, play hard" definitely resonates here, as Howard and his colleagues were responsible for transforming Chaminade University's small-scale recreation center into a major venue to facilitate media coverage and relations for the 75 press who attended the event. Howard's experience with this sports-marketing firm is reflective of DGC's brand message that working hard does not necessarily have to be painful. It can be fun, too.
How Much Have We Really Changed?
In the weeks leading up to the season premier of AMC's Mad Men, various business publications had a field day showcasing the sexist ads of earlier eras.
As astonishing as some of them are, it's legitimate to ask just how much society and the industry have evolved, especially when you consider that the percentage of women comprising the advertising workforce has remained flat—holding at 55 percent since 1982, the earliest available data from the 4A's.
Belvedere vodka recently ran an online ad that was suggestive of an attempted rape. A steakhouse in Georgia thought it was funny to post on Facebook the name of one of its sandwiches—the Caribbean black and bleu–in honor of Chris Brown and singer Rihanna. And who could forget last year's Chapstick ad?
In all three instances, the ads went viral, not because people thought them clever, but because consumers wanted to express anger and disgust at words and images that were demeaning or made light of violence against women.
Even though the companies apologized for the ads, it's tempting to lament that societal attitudes about these issues haven't changed much. However, the speed with which consumers can and do shame brands on social media regarding questionable messages gives us reason to hope.

Fireplace insulation
I just had my fireplace chimney cleaned, and the repair guy suggested that I get a fireplace insert that can prevent a draft when I'm not using the fireplace. This is a good idea, so went over to Home Depot and they had no idea what I was talking about.
Online, all I could find was this, http://ucanhealth.com/local/merchandise/?pid=2576&ptt=Fireplace_Insulating_Plug which looks to me like just an overpriced piece of styrofoam. If anyone has any suggestions, either homemade or commercial, I'm all ears.
A retrofit damper should be installed at the top of the chimney and requires a clay tile liner. It is operated from the side of the fire box by a cable.
They are sold through fireplace shops, chimney sweeps and Amazon.com.
Here is a link that might be useful: top damper
The chimney sweep recommended that too, but the price he quoted was $500. This, or something like it, seem slike a more economical way of doing the same task. I saw this on Amazon and I see it is theoretically available at Home Depot:
If you put URL's in the box provided and give it a name, people can click on it.
Would you really take that thing out every time you wanted to use the fireplace? I suspect you will use it once and then throw it away because of the mess it makes or you'll try to start a fire and smoke up the house. Then you'll be back where you started.
If the chimney sweep wants to charge you $340 to attach a $160 damper to the top of the flue tile, you're talking to the wrong guy. Order the damper online and offer him or another chimney sweep $100 to install it.
All that is required is climbing up there with the damper unit and a tube of glue and sticking it on top of the clay flue tile and then dropping the cable down the chimney and securing a bracket to the side of the fire box.
Avoid temporary solutions to permanent problems.
Here is a link that might be useful: installation instructions

Schindler on LEED and Municipal Adoption of Private Green Building Standards
Sarah Schindler (Maine) has posted Following Industry's LEED: Municipal Adoption of Private Green Building Standards, Florida Law Review, Vol. 62, pp. 285-350, April 2010. The abstract:
Local governments are beginning to require new, privately constructed and funded buildings to be "green" buildings. Instead of creating their own, locally-derived definitions of green buildings, many municipalities are adopting an existing private standard created by members of the building industry: LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). This Article explains and assesses the privately promulgated LEED standards. It argues that the translation of LEED standards, which were intended to be voluntary, into law raises several theoretical and practical problems. Specifically, private green building ordinances that rely on LEED do not ensure a reduction in the negative local environmental impacts of buildings, nor do they provide any assurance that those standards were created through a legitimate process. The Article concludes by offering an alternative approach, suggesting that municipalities should instead enact green building ordinances that have been promulgated by public governmental bodies, rather than private, industry-based organizations, and done so locally, taking into account specific local building-related and environmental concerns.
Matt Festa
Big problem waiting to happen, especially when the approvals are specifically tied to LEED approval as opposed to mirroring credits and having local officials responsible for analyzing compliance.
The more timely question is whether promulgation of the IGCC, folks paralleling Cal-Green code, and finalization of ASHRAE 189.1 will moot some of the dominance of LEED in municipal codes.
Posted by: Timothy R. Hughes | Apr 19, 2010 7:43:37 AM
This is very exciting! Sarah was a student in the Land Use Clinic during our first semester in existence, and she's definitely made good over the years.
We've done some work at the clinic on municipal adoption of LEED as the green standard, so I'll read this article with interest. (Tim, are you going to do a follow up blog post or article on green building standards?)
