LEED for Retail Up for Vote

WASHINGTON, DC-Stores may not have to settle for Core and Shell LEED certification for much longer, as the proposed drafts of LEED for Retail: New Construction 2009 and LEED for Retail: Commercial Interiors, are now up for vote.

The member ballot is the last step in the process to develop and establish LEED rating systems. The voting period began on Wednesday March 4, and extends through Wednesday April 1 at 5 pm.
