The LEED green building certification program’s greatest strength lies in its consensus-based, transparent, ongoing development cycle. The ability to be flexible allows LEED to evolve, taking advantage of new technologies and advancements in building science while prioritizing energy efficiency and CO2 emissions reductions. With this in mind, on April 27, 2009,

the next version of LEED will launch.

Coined LEED v3, the newest version promises advancements to the current system and will be faster, smarter and a better user experience. The online system is designed to be scalable and more robust through improved design, a more intuitive user interface, better communication between project teams and certifying bodies, and upgrades that respond to the changes in the LEED 2009 rating system.
