Re: Turning off Computers: Energy Saved
2010-06-23 12:19:47 UTC
I consulted with the Indianapolis Museum of Art on energy saving strategies, and the issue of full shut down vs. sleep mode of computers was initiated after research showed that computers are designed to boot up thousands of times, with no negative impact on hardware durability.

Re: Looking for Information on Recycling for Tradesman

Hi Donna,
Thanks for the link and especially for all your great work in New Zealand. You are a bit of a mecca for green folk in the US. I look forward to reading all the documents on the site.
For clarification, I was referring to drywall scrap and I see the uses you put it to. All metal is recycled and cardboard.
I am working on a building that is a reuse project that is the first Affordable, LEED and is a candidate to The National Register of Historic Places. Often seen as in conflict. Check it out at www.casaverdellc.com and click on the Gramse project

Here in the US midwest, I recycle scrap to a facility that grinds it up and applies it to farm fields as a soil amendment. Broken block is used as clean fill, as opposed to landfill. Both of these strategies are recognized as jobsite waste reduction by the U S Green Building Council.

Landfill vs. Municipal Incineration of Reinforced Poly Film
2009-04-14 12:31:03 UTC
Has anyone ever seen impact data on landfilling poly film as opposed to incineration at a facility that is generating power. I want to do the right thing here.
