The second public comment period for the proposed update to the USGBC LEED® green-building rating-system, coined LEED 2012 will close on September 14, 2011. It is the next step on-going development of the LEED program.
The drafts currently available for public comment feature updated language and scorecards, and include responses to comments with points associated with all credits. Members of the public can comment on any changes made since the first comment period, which ran from Nov. 8, 2010 until Jan. 19, 2011.
Respondents are encouraged to submit comments on individual credits and include recommendations for resolving any identified concerns. Recommendations could include ways to improve the practicality of the criteria for a specific credit, or ways to clarify the language of a specific requirement.
Comments are only accepted via the online comment form. You may submit only one set of comments on any individual credit, and comments may not be edited once submitted. Visit the USGBC’s LEED Public Comment page to submit your comments.
