> My thinking here is that this does not mean LEEDS is a failure. The study shows that there was improvement in every building that underwent the certification, it is just that for some buildings energy wasn't the highest priority. In many parts of the US water use is much more important than energy efficiency.
I was going to read the paper tonight. I do appreciate your summary.
One thing I've been doing lately is to highlight the fact that nothing in life is reduced to a single variable problem. No, a cow is not a uniform sphere of milk one meter in diameter.
I've been doing this because of just how many discussions seem to take one variable and assign to that one variable the entire end result of whatever it might be that is being discussed. Frankly, it's maddening. I couldn't even name something that, in the real world, is an honest single-variable problem (I'm sure someone will find something now and point it out; OK, now go find ten!).
