Abstract/Contents:Discusses the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's (LEED) "rating system for green buildings," explaining that "the USGBC [United States Green Building Council] is lending its support...and plans to adopt SSI [Sustainable Sites Initiative] metrics into the LEED system." Mentions that "in addition to the rating system (set to be complete by 2011), SSI plans to roll out standards and guidelines by 2009, pilot projects that test how well the rating system applies to construction and maintenance practices (beginning in 2010) and a reference guide, due out in 2012." Suggests that "the green industry can expect PLANET [Professional Landcare Network] programming on sustainable practices to expand."
