New Report Criticizes LEED on Public Health Issues

A new report from the nonprofit Environment and Human Health, Inc. (EHHI) takes aim at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and its LEED rating systems, arguing that they don’t do enough to address human health issues. While acknowledging the validity of some of EHHI's concerns and inviting collaboration, USGBC argues that the report contains fundamental misunderstandings about how LEED addresses public health.
