Green Building 101: A New Series from Inhabitat

June 29, 2006

A new weekly column covering the fundamentals of green building, Inhabitat's Green Building 101 series focuses on demystifying the USGBC's LEED rating system with a concentration on the LEED-H for residential homes, currently in the pilot phase.

The series begins with a look at "Locations & Linkages" (L&L) as a methodology for sustainable site selection and development. The USGBC has implemented L&L in hopes that it will help reduce energy consumed by Americans in pursuit of cheap land and more closet space across the (seemingly) infinite supply of pasture and native habitats.
