LEED for Retail Needs Your Vote
USGBC’s member organizations have an important voice in the development of the LEED rating systems. Each rating system must receive a vote from at least 10% of our member organizations to ensure the LEED rating system is driven by consensus and the expertise of our diverse membership. Whether your work is in the retail industry or not, we all shop, dine out and visit retailers on a daily basis. We all have a stake in LEED for Retail. Please note that only primary contacts of USGBC member organizations can vote on LEED for Retail. To see who your primary contact is visit the national member directory and click on the name of your company.
