Everything seemed right when I first toured the theater. While the facade of Henry Miller's Theatre has been retained, it is actually part of a building that is a poster child for LEED, the Platinum-rated Bank of America Tower. Both the architects, FXFowle and the building owners, The Durst Organization, are recognized leaders in sustainable design, and the project represents an honest attempt to address core concerns, rather than focusing on easier and less expensive ways to achieve LEED points.
Often costly equipment that can improve occupant comfort and energy performance, such as an under-floor air distribution system, is value-engineered out of projects. So it seems unreasonable to grouse about a project that includes this amenity. It's like a teenager who asks for a car and is given a Ferrari complaining. But just as the Ferrari would not be useful to a teenager unless someone took the time and trouble to teach him or her how to drive it, sophisticated systems that are not properly explained to the people who have to operate them don't do anyone any good.
This highly visible LEED project is consuming much more energy than necessary, and my guess is that the cause is lack of proper training of and communication with operations personnel. I certainly hope that's the case, because that would be much easier to fix than a problem with the design or installation of the system.
As usual, you should check the arrangements of the cards in inquiries to figure out what expenses and conditions are related with adjust exchanges. Cash Advances San diego
