About LEED for Neighborhood Development
The LEED for Neighborhood Development Rating System integrates the principles of smart growth, urbanism, and green building into the first national standard for neighborhood design. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a development’s location and design meet accepted high standards for environmentally responsible, sustainable, development.
LEED for Neighborhood Development is a collaboration between the U.S. Green Building Council, the Congress for the New Urbanism, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Pilot Program
The list of LEED for Neighborhood Development pilot projects has been announced. Pilot projects may now begin the process of certification by submitting documentation to demonstrate their performance. Certified pilot projects will be posted as they achieve certification.
