The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) announces the launch of a one year pilot demonstration of its newest green building rating system, LEED for Homes. The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes Rating System is a voluntary program that will recognize and reward the top 25 percent of green home builders in terms of environmentally sound construction. New homes built to the LEED standards will be designed and constructed to use less energy, less water and fewer materials. The LEED homes will provide improved indoor air quality through better ventilation and filtration systems design, and improved controls of pollutant sources.
