The New Year is off to a productive start for the Rose Fellows as Enterprise officially launches online workbooks to assist and guide project managers through Green Communities compliance and certification procedures. Two years in the making , the nation al Green Communities development team translate feedback from Rose Fellows into a productive online resource that guides project managers towards strategic decisions and accountability measures.
Rose Fellows Ophelia Wilkins, Jessy Olson, and Esther Yang spearheaded efforts that compiled construction field observations and Green Communities project feedback to shed insight on the process towards high-performance development. Workbooks aim to trump the pre-existing compliance mentality as fueled by a checklist, but encourages and emphasizes informed partnerships and thoughtful collaborations between the design, development, and construction teams. Furthermore, these spreadsheets will also serve as a tool and guide for project managers deliberating criteria and certification feasibility.
