Chatting with Ali Abbas at the LOOP Airstream at Isla Vista Theater

We sat down with Joel Cesare to discuss the LEED certification process at the LOOP. Joel is a LEED accredited professional and graduate student at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at UCSB. He brings valuable expertise to the LOOP from his research on resident engagement in green buildings.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. As an internationally recognized mark of excellence, LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

the LOOP is proud to be the first privately-owned LEED registered building in Isla Vista.
