Understand the challenges of specifying for LEED® certification and keep up with the changes in the LEED® rating system.
Individuals working on green and sustainable projects, particularly LEED® projects, must ensure that their specifications incorporate the LEED® rating system requirements. As the LEED® rating system continues to evolve, specification provisions must evolve as well. This topic provides you with valuable tools that will help you incorporate LEED® certification requirements into your project specifications, shows you how to link these requirements to a project’s technical specifications, and explains the importance of these provisions to the certification process.
