USGBC announces opening of the fifth public comment period
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) recently announced the opening of the fifth public comment period for the proposed update to its LEED green building program. The comment period, which will close on Dec. 10, enables the building community to view the most recent draft of the rating systems and provide comments where any substantive changes have been made.
"LEED v4 will have the greatest impact of any rating system we've developed by focusing on building performance and rewarding innovative product manufacturers who offer best in class products," said Scot Horst, Senior Vice President, LEED, USGBC. "LEED v4 will help change the way project teams think, integrate, plan, execute and operate their buildings."
