Then when actual consumption comes in at 45% of modeled, LEED modeler instructs building owner to open windows and leave lights on to reach “at least 50% of modeled must be renewable” purchase goal to obtain LEED credits.

Wait – to be fair, and pay tribute to the teachings of Henry Gifford. 
 
LEED will require *predictions* of all-glass houses to qualify for platinum.

But wait, isn’t that a picture of Joes house in Aspen?  
 
Awesome post. Great replies.  
 
Zito, While not being a requirement, isn’t it the design most likely to qualify for Platinum?

Bedbugs Carry Brain
alert! Bedbugs Carry Brain Disease 
 
Scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on April 1, 2012 that they recently isolated the cause of the incapacitating brain malfunction plaguing our nation’s capitol. The scientists discovered that a new species of diurnal bedbug now infests buildings throughout the District of Columbia, biting occupants and spreading a devastating brain disease that inflates its victim’s confidence while shrinking the brain’s reasoning and judgment centers.  
 
 
 
A coalition of government departments, including EPA, Homeland Security, HHS, and DOE launched a joint venture in March to combat this new threat: Departments United to Mitigate Bedbugs (DUMB). DUMB publishes specifications for mitigating bedbugs titled Certified Regulatory Anti-bedbug Protection (CRAP). Saturn Resource Management is proud to announce that DUMB has selected Saturn as their exclusive CRAP distributor.  
 
 
 
DUMB specifies two acceptable paths to CRAP compliance (which becomes mandatory on April 1, 2013). The preventive path requires covering your carpets, furniture, and personal belongings with Bedbug-Ultra-Repellant Polyethylene (BURP). When you already have a bedbug infestation, which is likely, DUMB requires remediation through Spray Personal Anti-bedbug Pesticide (SPAP). 
 
 
 
Don’t wait until your bedbug-infected brain has you babbling like a politician. Whether you require BURP or SPAP for DUMB compliance, Saturn stocks the CRAP that you need. Saturn is your one-stop shop for DUMB diagnosis, training, and implementation. Saturn’s CRAP starter kit includes an acre of BURP and a 30-gallon spray barrel of SPAP. Purchase your CRAP starter kit today for the low introductory price of only $999.95.  
 
 
 
Don’t be DUMB. Avoid bedbug-infected brain disease. Get your CRAP together today!

Long time researcher, Ising Glass, has been advocating for this forever. Not to be out-done, famous cross-dresser, Trans Lucent, is seeing red over this latest development… as well as pink, purple, chartreuse and some light shades of baby blue.
