Interested in having your voice heard regarding improving the LEED Green Building Rating System? You’re in luck!
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Board of Directors has voted unanimously to open LEED 2009 for public comment. This is a huge step in the right direction to improve upon an already hugely successful program in the much needed green building movement. The LEED Green Building Rating System is an ever-evolving process and they realize that fact. Thus, the invitation to public comment/suggestions.
The meeting will cover 3 main areas:
- LEED 2009 – LEED Rating System updates/revisions
- Revision and Evolution of the LEED Certification process
- LEED online v3
You’ve got to hurry, though. The meeting is this Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 2 PM EDT. Here’s all the info listed below that you’ll need to have your voice heard.
First and foremost, you should read a few documents prior to the LEED 2009 meeting.

That inspired me to write about home building and home renovation projects — chronicling homes during different phases of construction from a consumer's point-of-view.
