LEED for Homes
Yesterday, Laura and I attended a LEED for Homes review seminar. Overall it was a full day of information, from marketing LEED to going over every credit point in the program. I learned a lot about the program, and it cleared up a lot of confusion we had about providers and raters.
LEED for Homes works a lot differently than the commercial version. The USGBC recognized that builders don’t always have an architect on the team or have design done in-house. To help builders through the process and expedite everything, they started the LEED for Homes Provider network. It looks like this approach will be much more efficient than the commercial version, and lessen the burden on the LEED AP’s. By the way, there currently is no LEED for Homes AP accreditation, but it will be available next spring. Most likely one of us will get the LEED AP accreditation, and the other will get the LEED for Homes AP accreditation.
