LEED 2009 Sets the Stage for Major Upheaval

LEED 2009, set to become effective January 1, 2009, will make major changes in the current LEED rating systems for New Construction, Existing Buildings, Core and Shell Development and Commercial Interiors. Time now to start learning what it does and how it’s going to change your world.

LEED 2009 makes major changes in the entire rating system for the four most popular project types: New Construction (and Major Retofits), Commercial Interiors, Existing Buildings and Core and Shell Development. Take a look at my analysis, then look at the detailed report from the Mechanical Contractors Association of America and a rating system by rating system analysis from Glumac, a west coast building engineering firm. Start now to make your design and construction teams familiar with the new system. All the details can be found on the US Green Building Council website.
