Stucky Selected as Central Indiana Branch Chair for Indiana Chapter of U.S. Green Building Council
The law firm of Bose McKinney & Evans LLP is pleased to announce that partner Natalie J. Stucky has been named the 2010 Central Indiana Branch Chair for the Indiana Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). As branch chair, she will also serve as the Central Indiana Branch’s representative on the Indiana Chapter’s board of directors.
The USGBC is a non-profit organization composed of leaders from across the building industry working to advance buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. Driving its mission to transform the built environment is the Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™, which is supported by a robust LEED Workshop program and the LEED Professional Accreditation program. LEED emphasizes state-of-the-art green and sustainable strategies focused on standard building topics.
Stucky Participates in Greening of the Indiana Memorial Union
The law firm of Bose McKinney & Evans LLP is pleased to announce that partner Natalie J. Stucky is participating in the Greening of the Indiana Memorial Union on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus.
The Greening eco-charrette will take place on Dec. 2-3 to look for ways to make the iconic structure more energy, water and resource effective while retaining its historic charm.
Patterned after other famous eco-charrettes, such as the Greening of the White House, the Greening of the Pentagon and the more recent Greening of the City County Building in Indianapolis, this charrette will be facilitated by national and local experts in collaboration with IMU and IU administration and staff. Because of its location and purpose, it will also include student participation.
The Greening of the IMU will be facilitated by Hellmuth+Bicknese LLC with the Leonardo Academy. Both firms helped write the LEED rating system. Sponsored by a grant from the Duke Energy Foundation, this charrette will explore cost-effective ways for the IMU to green its operations and maintenance processes using LEED for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance as a framework.
