Leeds Expands to NeighborhoodsLEED is expanding to neighborhoods, and Doug Farr is leading the way. Farr is helping to shepherd the creation of a different set of standards, an outgrowth of USGBC's voluntary, consensus-based LEED rating system that's known as LEED for Neighborhood Development, or LEED-ND. The Council, whose LEED steering committee Farr sits on, decided in 2003 to expand its efforts into urban planning and neighborhood development. The intention, quite simply, was to design America's first green neighborhoods. Link to Story
