In this two-part workshop we will get to tour the recently completed FriendsCenter designed by UJMN Architects + Designers. The project is seeking LEED Gold certification and is the first location in Pennsylvania to utilize deep-standing column wells for geothermal heat exchange. The project also includes a gray water recycling system and a green roof.
Christopher Kenney of UMJN and Rob Diemer of AKF will lead tours of the building and will give a follow up presentation. The second part of the workshop will feature the Rev. Fletcher Harper of GreenFaith. He will describe GreenFaith’s Building in Good Faith project and resource – a web-based resource to educate religious groups about green building and the LEED standards, and to address the questions and concerns that many religious groups pose when considering green building.
