LEED 2012 Public Comments Round-table

As you may know, the next version of the LEED Rating System, LEED 2012, is currently open for a second public comment. In an effort to provide the more comprehensive feedback to the USGBC, M.E. GROUP (along with USGBC Nebraska Flatwater Chapter) is hosting a LEED 2012 Public Comments Round-table focusing on the LEED for New Construction and Major Renovations rating system. (Download the event flier here.)

Please join us on Thursday, September 8th from 4-6pm for wine and cheese, a discussion of the major changes proposed for LEED 2012, and breakout sessions by category to generate feedback comments for USGBC. The group will document each comment and submit as a whole.

This event will be held at the office of M.E. GROUP, 8040 Davenport Street, Omaha, NE. (Location subject to change based on attendance).

M.E. GROUP staff will present an overview of the major proposed changes to the LEED 2012 rating system to facilitate a conversation of pros, cons and recommendations. While this round-table is focusing on New Construction & Major Renovations, we can apply our comments to other rating systems as applicable.

This event is free and open to the green building community. We welcome your perspective and expertise.

Please RSVP by September 6th to Brad Carne at 402-334-2155 or brad.carne@megroup.com
