I support energy efficiency. But LEED standards are not the only way to achieve energy efficiency. I am sure most of you have heard of Energy Star. There is another program called Green Globe. Last month we celebrated building our 100th LEED certified school. Those schools included some of the very materials that LEED v.4 would discriminate against. Ohio industries and jobs will be affected by this latest version of LEED.  You will hear from representatives of some of these industries today. I believe it is time for the legislature to weigh in and evaluate the effectiveness of adhering to just one standard for energy efficiency. ________________________________ From: Kneisel, Brittney [Brittney.Kneisel@ohiosenate.gov] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 9:32 AM To: Niehaus, Thomas E.
