LEED for Neighborhood Development
February 11, 2008 by fairsnape
LEED (the US version of BREEAM) is piloting a LEED ND - a neighbourhood development assessment system. The FAQ refers to it as a rating system that integrates the principles, of smart growth, new urbanism, and green building into the first national standard for neighborhood design
Details are available from the LEED website - but looking at the assessment checklist it looks very familiar to our sustainable communities and community based facilities management approaches.
I have just been reading the very informative paper The Law of Green Building from US Law Attorney Stoel Rives LLP, which has a useful chapter on LEED ND. - LAW OF BUILDING GREEN - Community and Neighborhood Development
Do we have a BREEAM equivalent? (not to my knowledge - but if any more experience BREEAM people out there know better then please post below)
