GAP offering EBOM for Balboa Park

Tonight, I'll be welcoming Cesar Tapia with the San Diego Chapter of the USGBC and the Gap Project.

Balboa Park will soon become an example of Sustainability through a partnership with the San Diego Chapter of the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council), and their Green Assistance Program.

EBOM (Existing Building, Operation and Maintenece) is a LEED Certification program that recognizes sustainable practices for buildings already constructed, and in this case, 100 year old museums!

With not-for-profit organizations such as the BPCP (Balboa Park Cultural Partnership) and The Friends of Balboa Park, coordination can be a challenge, and Cesar is here to talk about his role and what exactly it takes to certify an existing building.

Sustainability - Think: Environmental Responsibility, Economic Viability, and Social Accountability.
