Los Angeles Launches Green Building Program
The Los Angeles green building program went into effect for commercial projects over 50,000 sf November 1. The standards require projects at that threshold to meet the intent of the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, at the "Certified" level. The City also offers priority processing to projects on the path to achieving a LEED Silver rating.
Global Green conducted a workshop at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for interested stakeholders on compliance features of the program. Global Green will continue to provide guidance to the City as the program moves into implementation.
