Green Building technology is one of the most encouraging, and fastest growing trends in construction and architecture. And while the term "green" itself can be vague, the actual tactics one can employ to improve our environment are very real. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an internationally recognized certification for how a building and community perform across a range of benchmarks like resource stewardship and sustainability. This certification provides a framework for making meaningful green changes.
Changing people's behavior is a key component of LEED that goes beyond building and architecture. Changing attitudes about smart energy usage is an ongoing process that pays dividends down the road.
Most people know Carpooling is a great way to reduce energy usage, but the perception and attitude is that it's not worth the hassle. The Carpooling module reduces those hassles by recommending schedules, routes, and riders.
