Los Angeles closes in on mandating LEED buildings
The City’s move will affect all buildings above 50 units residential or 50,000 sq.ft. commercial and will affect about 200 large projects annually. The City Council is expected to approve the measure, which has the mayor’s full support, in earl 2008. The City also expects to expedite permits for developments committing to LEED Silver certification, helping them save two to 12 months in the permit process. That’s real money in the bank for large developments. In Los Angeles, already 48 buildings have been designed to LEED standards.
