The SDSU Green Building Council took a LEED tour of the new San Diego Central Library on Friday. It was a great experience for students to learn about the LEED process and what credits the library earned, and how they earned those credits.

Hi all, we will have our final general body meeting of the semester this Thursday from 3-4 in Aztec Mesa 106. Kotaro Nakamura will be giving a presentation regarding LEED and an informative lecture pertaining to preparation for the GA. Don't miss out!

Also, we have decided to move our attention to the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. We would like to design a house that meets, or exceeds, the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon criteria. The criteria can be found with the following link:

We are aiming to have a completely built house by the next competition in 2016 and/or donate the house for good causes when finished. As a result, we are looking for a group of individuals to form a core committee in an effort to get the ball rolling and make this plan a reality. If interested in being a part of this committee please let me know.

Thank you,
SDSU Green Building Council
