Litigation Issues with LEED Ratings and Checklist Design, ENR Mountain States, September 2011 - In this article, Robert Foster and co-author Sean O'Brien discuss the best practices for projects seeking LEED certification, and the unintended consequences of the LEED Rating System and "checklist"design.
