USGBC Sued Over LEED Program
- brudgers 16y agoThere is some merit to the claim that LEED doesn't save energy because it is based on analysis of the building's design and specifications rather than the energy performance of the building after occupancy. In other words, certification is based on what was done before the building was used. If the occupants are uncomfortable and adjust the thermostats or the photovoltiac systems don't adequately power the lights or the motorized solar shades fail after two years the rating is unaffected.
