Catalog focuses on green innovation
Jan 18, 2008 3:34 PM
The U.S. Green Building Council has created an online Innovation &
Design Credit Catalog to assist builders and designers trying to earn
LEED points in those areas. The catalog lists green building strategies
that have been used in LEED-certified projects. Projects can receive Innovation
& Design credits as part of the LEED certification process by
demonstrating quantifiable environmental benefits through strategies
and techniques not specifically delineated in the LEED Rating System. Brendan
Owens, Vice President of LEED Technical Development for the USGBC, says
that by publicizing the innovations in the catalog, the council hopes
to inspire designers and builders to come up with further innovations.
