The LEED Triple Bottom Line

---

The USGBC through LEED encourages a triple bottom line of the environment, economics and society. Usually I am working with the economic and environmental aspects of the project. I have been wondering how a project like the Boys and Girls Club can balance out the social equity portion of a Green building. Some of the ideas I am thinking about are how a facility such as this will be accessible to children that may not have had the opportunity to be in a Green built environment. This is probably the biggest aspect of social equity. There would not be too many green buildings in our areas that would be designed for kids to hang out and feel safe. What a terrific opportunity!
