LEED-ND Summary LEED-ND Summary
� Offers a new opportunity for mixedto become certified LEED projects
� Residential is an important component
� More site focused; redevelopment bias� More site focused; redevelopment bias
� Smaller incremental costs to become LEED certified (?)
� Pilot program should help to further refine rating system, especially for prerequisites
