Registration will be announced soon. If you are ready to book your stay, check out The Hotel Northampton, where a block of rooms is available at a special conference rate. I recommend making arrangements early; the conference will be held during peak foliage, and accommodations may be hard to come by at the last minute. I’ll post additional details as they are available.

Centerpoint Connecticut

Cooper Green Design, with 4 Elements Group, is providing LEED consulting services for the Centerpont CT campus in Middletown, CT.  The campus includes 7 new 2-story buildings and one existing building renovation. Spaces are available for purchase or for lease in an “office-condo” arrangement. The first phase includes 3 new buildings that are registered under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for Core & Shell Rating System and targeting a LEED Silver Certification. A rooftop photovoltaic system will provide a portion of the electricity, and an energy-efficient building envelope will reduce energy use and utility costs for owners and tenants. Each space will be individually metered, allowing owners and tenants to monitor their own energy and water use and encourage conservation practices. Tenant and owner guidelines are being developed in order to support LEED Certification for Commercial Interiors spaces and to provide occupants with suggested strategies to maximize the performance of their spaces.

3. Fossil fuel reductions for all new buildings will be increased to:

• 60% in 2010
• 70% in 2015
• 80% in 2020
• 90% in 2025
• Carbon-neutral by 2030
