[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: First reading questions: Building performance ordinance

The Building Performance Ordinance was approved on first reading on Sept. 1 as item 3J.  For second reading, I’d like to better understand why LEED certification suffices in several circumstances to meet our criteria.  I’m not up on LEED Building Operations and Maintenance, but in other flavors of LEED it seems to me that, while the certification is valuable, it does not necessarily equate to the requirements we are trying to apply.  I have a similar question relating to Energy Star certification.  And, over time, as our requirements may increase, these other two certifications may not keep pace.
 
And, a minor typo: on P.203, line 8 ½, 10-7.5-1 should presumably be 10-7.7-1.
