"I personally attended a Green Education Services seminar and was so impressed I brought them to our office to train our staff, colleagues and clients on LEED. Fifteen staff members attended the LEED GA training and all 15 have passed the exam. The consensus was clear that the training provided by Green Education Services was key to learning the LEED GA requirements."

How LEED-ND Works: The Movie

DateWednesday, September 1, 2010 at 8:36PM

The National Resources Defense Council blog highlights a two-part video explaining LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND), created by Eliot Allen of the Portland, Oregon planning consultancy Criterion Planners.

The video provides a step-by-step narrative of how review and certification of neighborhood developments work. Allen’s video focuses on Metro Square, an urban infill development in Sacramento by Mogavero Notestine Architects. Metro Square pre-dates the evolution of LEED-ND but it nonetheless provides valuable lessons on how the certification program plays out. Metro Square would hypothetically earn a Gold rating under the system, even if the credits applied to its certification were limited to those related to energy and carbon emissions.

A companion video, also created by Allen, explores how a municipality may use the LEED-ND certification system to assist planning and zoning. View that video here.
