tressing the importance of environmentally friendly building, Tom Fuller from the Wyoming Energy Office told the Wyoming Business Council at their meeting in Torrington on Wednesday that creating more buildings that follow Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines will have a positive impact on future generations of Wyomingites.
LEED encourages and accelerates adoption of sustainable green building and development practices, according to Fuller, and implements universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.
To encourage more “green” building in Wyoming, the state recently formed the Wyoming Green Building Council.
“The council promotes sustainable practices that will benefit multiple generations,” Fuller said. “The technology is evolving based on the experience of building owners, architects and engineers.”
In Goshen County, the Eastern Wyoming College Construction Technology Program also stresses environmentally friendly, energy efficient building techniques. Students in the program are currently building their third house. All three of the program’s houses were built using “green” technology. |
