LEED 2012 - Fourth Public Comment Period Opens
May 1st - May 15th, 2012.

LEED has become perhaps the single most important roadmap for Green Cleaning in the professional cleaning industry as its prerequisite and credits shape customer demand for cleaning chemicals, equipment, paper, liners, mats, tools, training, reporting and more. As such, it is important to consider its fourth round of proposed revisions that are now available for public comment.

According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), this draft of LEED 2012 will incorporate final technical revisions based on public comment feedback, and will incorporate credit requirements that have been positively impacted by credit documentation development.

Credit documentation, reference guide and education development will continue concurrent with public comment and ballot. Public engagement opportunities to provide feedback and assist in the refinement of this work will be announced later this month and throughout the ballot period.

The 4th public comment period will run May 1 until May 15. Once the comment period process concludes, LEED 2012 will be balloted from June 1 until June 30, and launch in November.

So, please take the time to review the LEED 2012 Rating System Drafts and submit your comments either directly to the USGBC or on this site.
