I really like the concept and I’m all for benefits for sustainable projects, but there are changes which need to be made to the whole LEED certification process.

You’ll agree that LEED certification process needs to be stricter, since I’ve seen so many projects with loop holes that got Platinum certification while achieving far less than some LEED gold certified projects.

It’s funny how much information can be lose or changed from the start of talks with clients to day the building opens to the public. Things should be different in a few years when all parties become accustomed to the LEED process.
