Olympic green building rule could trip up B.C. wood product suppliers By Steve Mertl, CP
The B.C. government is moving to deal with an environmental requirement for the 2010 Winter Games that could theoretically leave the province's largest resource industry on the outside looking in.
A clause in the agreement to mount the Games in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C., stipulates all Olympic venues be constructed to something called the LEED standard.
Trouble is, almost none of British Columbia's wood producers adhere to LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
The B.C. government was a prime mover in winning the Games for the province and in touting the Games as a key economic driver. But the LEED requirement appears to have escaped its notice.------------------------------------------- posted 9:34 AM :: reference link ::
