LEED Pilot Credit Library
Welcome to the LEED Pilot Credit Library on LEEDuser
The LEED Pilot Credit Library is intended to facilitate the introduction of new credits to LEED. The process allows projects to test more innovative credits that haven't been through USGBC's complete drafting and balloting process. Projects who want to participate in a credit pilot need to register with USGBC on this page. Questions about pilot credits can be directed to USGBC at pilot@usgbc.org.
Through a special arrangement with USGBC, LEEDuser has posted the official language of the LEED pilot credits in order to make it more accessible to interested project teams. We have also posted a short summary introducing each credit, and each credit has an associated forum where project teams working on the credits can share their experiences and ask questions. USGBC encourages project teams to use this forum.
