Next Update of LEED Open for Public Comment

WASHINGTON—The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) opened the proposed update to the LEED green building rating system for its first public comment. The proposed update builds on LEED 2009. It includes the alignment and weighting of credits and further advances the "bookshelf" framework where credits are applied to specific building types. Also, the proposed update places increased emphasis on integrated process and building performance. The public comment period will close on Dec. 31.
