Member day at Greenbuild

First things first - I had to have a Chicago Hot dog - so to the Gold Coast Dogs site on Wabash.

Then off to the presentations about the USGBC and the Chapters and what is coming up. Many of you already know that the LEED product formerly known as LEED-NC Version 3.0 has morphed into a sort of database set of credits that will be specific to the type of project involved. I guess the multiple products, the multiple approval paths, and the coordination of them all made a change necessary. The other big new was about the creation of another entity to handle the certification parts of LEED including the LEED APs, the testing protocol, certification process for projects (buildings), and the certification of project appraisers. It is intended to follow ISO processes and all of this suggested that separation of the rating system creation and the rating system certification is necessary to eliminate conflicts of interest.
