Kerry
Rogers will speak at View this Sunday, Jan. 20, at 2 pm as part of the Henry M.
Kashiwa Eco Gallery series of talks and demonstrations called “Science on
Sundays.” Kerry will present an overview of the “green” technology employed at
View. He will also discuss the process of the building’s development, from the
onset of construction through occupancy, and how View has taken measures to
protect the environment.
The presentation,
illustrated with a slide presentation, will focus on 1.) water-efficient
landscaping, 2.) renewable energy, 3.) energy performance, and 4.) building
with FSC (Forest Certified Council) certified wood and recycled materials.
Kerry is a board member of View. He and his family
have been life-long seasonal residents of Old Forge. Since 1980, he has been self-employed in the
construction industry as a structural engineer.
View
received LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver
Certification for the “green” technology incorporated in the design of its new
building.
