Dealing with overseas projects I have a lot of unusual situations that don't line up perfectly with LEED MPRs and credits. Is there a suitable forum or even perhaps a dedicated team at GBCI? I imagine overseas practitioners like myself have more queries than typical LEED professionals and I dont' want to continue to post numerous queries that others will find completely irrelevant.

LEED EBOM: India

Is there any guidance for doing a LEED: EBOMEBOM is an acronym for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance, one of the LEED 2009 rating sytems. project in India?

Has there been any attempt in doing such a project?

We are thinking of doing a project there, but have explored the Indian Green Building Council, but have seen only projects that relate to NC, Core and Shell, and homes, but none in operations.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

For a list of projects in India, on the USGBC site you can check the Registered Projects directory at:
http://www.usgbc.org/LEED/Project/RegisteredProjectList.aspx

Searching just by country abbreviation "in" in the Country field lists about 85 registered projects, of which 20 or so are EB. In the Certified Projects directory, you'll only see a handful of EB projects, but you could start your research from those two lists.

LEED international roundtable

Melissa, you probably already know about the LEED international roundtable, but in case not there's a link to it. USGBC has been putting a real focus into making LEED more accessible for international projects, in a variety of ways (like translating LEED metrics into SI units, as one example).

You may have noticed there is a very strong contingent of people doing international projects on the forums here. So I would suggest you keep your questions coming (and add your experiences). Sound okay?

Hello,

Does this means that plans can now be submitted in SI units?

Thanks!
