Tristan Roberts of Environmental Building News* recently wrote an article about how the GBCI is shifting LEED reviews back to the GBCI in an effort to reign in “inconsistencies and poor service that have been frustrating to LEED project teams.” I was more interested in a statistic cited later in the article, where GBCI President Peter Templeton “cited internal figures showing that 94% of reviews are currently on time, which is up 45% from the start of 2009.” You may remember from earlier posts that the delays in 2008 and 2009 could be pretty long, and I’m glad to see USGBC/GBCI’s commitment to improving customer service is paying off!
Cracking the Whip on the LEED Reviewers**
Recent personal experience with LEED reviews confirms that this is true… Normally the initial review appears to be taking most of the 25 business days, but we’ve found relatively quick turnaround on final reviews.
