USGBC Releases Pilot Retail Application Guide

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has announced a call for projects to pilot-test the LEED^® for New Construction Application Guide for Retail, developed to tailor LEED credit language to retail projects and to define alternative compliance paths in some areas. The LEED for Retail Committee is seeking 25 to 50 retail projects—preferably representing a diverse range of retail sectors, locations, sizes, and project delivery strategies—to participate in the pilot program over the next six to eight months.
