At eacR initiai project kick-orr meeting, the project scope, schedule and personnel role are established. Following this meeting, a series of coordination meetings or conference calls- with the client- are established to review the work in progress, and to ensure that the project is proceeding according to the scope, desires of the client group and in accordance to the established schedule.

LEED Experience Curtis + Rogers is currently working on several LEED prcjec—u. Three of the projeM are reducing the use of potable water by 50% and one is reducing the use of potable water by 100%. In order to accomplish this we have proposed the use of rain water tanks. cisterns, quick coupler valves connected to the water tanks for hand watering and planting that does not require permanent irrigation after establishment. Our irrigation systems in the 50% reduction projects are being designed so that the turf areas and shrub and groundcover areas have separate zones. They also incluse separate bungler Lones for some of the trees and palms that require more water than the shrubs, groundcovers or turf. Separating the zones reduces the use of water by allowing the shrub and grundcover ones to run for less time since they do not require as much water as the turf areas or some of the trees and palms. In addition, all of our irrigation systems include automatic controllers which allow all zones to be programme's with different run t mes depending on the water requirements for the particular group of plantings. Rain sensors are also incorporated into the system in order to shut the irrigation system off when it rains. Our designs take full advantage of native plant marrial. Dative plant material regai%= ie» water an'a is more adaptable to existing site conditions which also limits the use of imported soils. Exotic plant material when used, is kept to a minimum, and is used in key areas and when the project demands it culturally. in order to reduce the heat island effect our designs inciade the use of shade tees throughout the project and specifically in the parking lots and on the west side of the buildings. Shade trees when combined with shrubs and groundcovers also increases the evapotranspiration rate which reduces the amount of water required for that group of planting.
