BOSTON—Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) 2009, the newest version of the U.S. Green Building Council's building certification program has passed a member ballot and will be rolled out next year.
The next generation of the LEED rating system for commercial buildings, LEED 2009 includes a series of major technical advancements focused on improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and addressing other environmental and human health concerns. The new version of LEED, which is based on eight years of market and user feedback, also incorporates regional credits in the form of extra points that have been identified as priorities within a project's location. LEED 2009 also features re-weighted credits and an altered allocation of points to reflect climate change and energy efficiency.
