Beginning next year, there will be an entirely new LEED system in place, according to moves in May by the USGBC Board of Directors. The long-expected LEED 2009 version is out for public comment; it deals with the four major rating systems currently in widespread commercial use: LEED for New Construction (and Major Renovations), LEED-NC; LEED for Core and Shell, LEED-CS; LEED for Commercial Interiors, LEED-CI; and LEED for Existing Buildings (Operation and Maintenance), LEED-EB.

Returning from the U.K. after another week of glorious weather (Global warming will make Merry Olde England quite more habitable, of course), I’d like to think I’ve seen the future of the debate in the U.S. over a low-carbon or zero-carbon future, and it’s as confusing as one could ever imagine.

The world’s largest new green building, the 3,000-room, $1.9 billion Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas received its LEED Silver rating and certificate in March. The huge resort is more than four times bigger than any other LEED-certified building, according to the US Green Building Council, which presented developer Las Vegas Sands Corp. with a LEED plaque at a recent awards ceremony. Coming soon, the Las Vegas City Center project, when completed in 2009, will boast the largest development of LEED Silver-certified projects, some 17 million sq.ft. (1.58 million sq.m.), representing some $7 billion of investment. As most of you know, everything in Las Vegas is on grand scale, now even green buildings. (In fairness, I should point out that the Chicago Merchandise Mart late last year received a LEED-EB Silver certification, making it the largest LEED project ever, at about 4.2 million square feet.)

Jerry Yudelson, Green Building Consultant Mind The Gap

Learning about the UK government’s commitment to zero carbon new homes by 2016, I was reminded of the slogan "Mind the Gap", because of the gap between the political class and the design world that must deal daily with the reality of energy use and carbon dioxide emissions in buildings, products and transportation. So I thought, we really must pay more attention to the gap between expectations and reality.

The big green home news in mid-February was the announcement of the new national green home rating system from the National Association of Home Builders (www.nahb.org), representing more than 230,000 U.S. homebuilding companies. In making the announcement, NAHB officials termed the program “voluntary, market-driven, flexible and affordable” and stressed that the certification paperwork would cost less than $500 per home.

As we round the bend and head for home in 2007, I want to recap how the business case for green buildings has unfolded this year and to forecast how it is likely to develop in 2008. To sum up 2007 in a nutshell: the business community has totally bought into green buildings. That’s it, end of discussion.
