LEED Next Version 1st Public Comment - Final Week to Submit Comments

LEED Next Version (estimated 2012) 1st Public Comment Period Closing January 14th, 2011

In early November, the first public comment period for the next update to the LEED (estimated 2012) green building rating systems opened. This public comment period includes all LEED rating systems, including the BD+C, ID+C and O+M rating system groups, LEED for Neighborhood Development, and LEED for Homes.

The public comment period is an important phase of the consensus-driven LEED development process. It's during this phase that USGBC relies on the users and stakeholders to give input on the direction of the proposed rating systems. LEED will continue to evolve, improve, and move forward as the industry benchmark for green buildings, and as it does so, it is imperative that we receive industry-wide input through public comment.
