LEEDing Forward Green Building Rating System Evolves with LEED 2009

摘要

As the green building industry continues to evolve, the U.S. Green Building Council continues to play a leadership role by changing the LEED for New Construction Rating System to meet market needs. On Sept. 2, 2008 the USGBC ended its public comment period on the proposed changes to LEED-NC version 2.2, collecting more than 7,000 comments. The USGBC Technical Advisory Groups are reviewing the comments received, and will then pass on their recommendations to the LEED Steering Committee. After approval of the LEED Steering Committee, LEED-2009 will go out to USGBC member companies for a vote in October and if successful, the new and improved LEED-2009 Rating System should be released at Greenbuild 2008 which will be held in Boston from November 19th through 21st.
