Buildings that are certified with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) under the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) can be homes or businesses. To locate LEED buildings in your area and arrange a visit, you can search the registered LEED buildings by city. Visit the USGBC website and click on Programs and Guides under the LEED drop-down menu. Next, click on LEED Certification Process and then LEED Project Directory. Here you can search registered LEED buildings by city, state or country, as well as see the certification level and view a snapshot for some buildings. Keep in mind that buildings are listed only if the project leader for each building has consented. Also provided are the addresses (under project name) and names of the owner or organization. Once you find an interesting building in your area make sure you check the hours of operation if it is a building open to the public. For homes and other occupants, contacting them for an appointment ahead of time to visit or tour their space is highly recommended. Like what you see?
