LEED:Built to Evolve

USGBC Minnesota Community

As part of the DMC Sustainability Series in partnership with USGBC, USGBC West North Central, Project Manager, Brent Suski will update us on the important and brand new changes to LEED v4.1, including how projects can earn LEED points through building performance monitoring via the Arc platform.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building, community and home project types, LEED provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.

The latest version of LEED – LEED v4 – was launched nearly two years ago. LEED v4.1 – while not a full version change – is an incremental update with significant features. Brent will introduce us to USGBC, LEED, and walk us through the mportant refinements in v4.1.
