Linda
embraces a lifestyle which includes healthful living, wholesome food,
world travel and environmental awareness. Her natural sense of beauty,
balance and harmony inspired her to study Critical Thinking, Feng Shui,
Interior Design, and Architecture.
"Working in the field of Green Design, it is imperative that
I have thorough knowledge about the products I specify, how and where
they are manufactured, what happens to them when they have reached their
“end of use” cycle, how the job site is managed, how much
energy the completed project will draw from “the grid”,
and much more."

LEED
LEED

in Energy and Environmental Design
Green Building Rating System™ - is the nationally accepted
benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance
green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools
they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’
performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability
by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental
health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency,
materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. LEED provides
a roadmap for measuring and documenting success for every building
type and phase of a building lifecycle.
