LEED for Communities Workshop

Join USGBC for a workshop into the sustainable urban development framework known as LEED for Communities.
About this Event

LEED for Communities rating systems provide architects, engineers, planners, urban designers, real estate developers, corporations, and professionals in the built environment with a powerful framework and guide for sustainable urban planning, design, development and improvement.

With a focus on equity, economic development, and environmental preservation, incorporating outcomes-oriented strategies and solutions, LEED for Communities is aimed at promoting net-zero practices, resilience and equity in project planning and management with a clear, data-driven means of benchmarking and communicating progress.

LEED for Communities applies specifically to places, such as large-scale real estate developments, mixed-use developments, urban regeneration, corporate campuses, business improvement districts (BIDs), economic development zones, neighborhoods, campuses, airports, industrial parks and entertainment districts. Projects that certify under the LEED for Communities rating system are designed to meet people's needs while improving their quality of life.

This workshop will cover both the LEED for Communities rating systems:

- LEED v4.1 for Communities: Plan and Design

- LEED v4.1 for Communities: Existing
