omni staff offers LEED workshop for UK physical plant division
May 09
At the request of the University of Kentucky, Omni Architects and CMTA Consulting Engineers led a two hour workshop for staff of the UK Physical Plant division focused on the requirements of House Bill 2. The new legislation goes into effect July 1 and requires all construction or renovation of public buildings for which 50 percent or more is funded by the Commonwealth to meet high performance building standards.
More than 40 engineers attended the continuing education workshop, which included a review of LEED standards, case studies of how sustainable design practices have been implemented on UK’s campus, and analysis of the cost and maintenance implications of various sustainable design solutions.
