The USGBC made a number of announcements at Greenbuild 2007. Here are some of the new initiatives: • Launching LEED for Homes, pending a USGBC approval vote on Nov. 27. • Launching a new Web site that is meant to be a resource on building green homes. It can be seen now at www.greenhomeguide.org/. • Launching a new Web site designed to transform green building education through online access. It is at www.Greenbuild365.org. • At Greenbuild 2008 in Boston, the organization will introduce a new version of LEED that will “normalize all LEED systems to a 100-point count.” |
