“The USGBC's LEED program is a great success,” Dan Chiles, vice president of sales and marketing for Watts Radiant told us at this year's ISH North America. “But it looks at things from an architectural and builder perspective. When it gets to the mechanical room, it really offers no advice.”
Chiles means the U.S. Green Building Council, a leading nonprofit organization with 6,400 member organizations banded together to encourage sustainable construction methods for the building industry. Its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ offers recognized benchmarks for designing, constructing and operating green buildings.
