This morning, my mech/elec professor organized a voluntary field trip to see the mechanical and electrical systems of a LEED Platinum building, which his firm had worked on. My mom is visiting Chicago this weekend, so she came with too. We got to see geothermal exchange units, the inner-workings of solar panels and their management system in the mech. room, plus fabric duct work, a huge rainwater collection system, a rooftop greenhouse that they filter air through as well as their rooftop garden. Afterwards, a couple friends, my mom and I went to Feed for brunch where we had some tasty blueberry pancakes.
