Meeting Content: Over the last several years, a tremendous amount of work has been put into the development of the LEED 2012 green building program and this fall, it's scheduled for release. Since its establishment in 2000, the LEED green building program has propelled growth in the building market and educated hundreds of thousands of industry stakeholders in sustainable development.

This presentation, based on information provided by National USGBC (presented by Sarah Gudeman, Morrissey Engineering & Mike Kros, DLR Group), will examine the new rating system in detail and help answer questions like...
- Are there new prerequisites?
- Are there new LEED credits?
- Have the point values changed again?
- What parts of the rating systems are changing?
- When do I need to comply with 2012?
- Will there be a new LEED Online?

The differences between LEED 2009 and LEED 2012 can be seen in three main areas: Addition of new market sectors - Changes to technical content that increase rigor - Revision of Credit Weightings.

Obviously we can't touch on all the details of the new rating system in 1.5 hours, but this will be a thorough general overview including where we are in the process and other relevant information from National USGBC.
