sionals, advocates and proponents with the insight needed to make a strong case for sustainable build- ing activity. The second report in the series, LEED in Motion: Places and Policies, details the global, regional and local growth of LEED and outlines the policies and mechanisms supporting it. “This LEED in Motion report outlines the
global, regional and local impact of LEED and the policy work that is driving it,” says Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair, USGBC. “LEED was not designed with a single paradigm, project or country in mind. It’s adaptable and fl exible, and changes with the market. And it’s a testament to the leaders around the world who use it.” Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the leader
behind the City of Boston’s accomplished green building efforts, wrote in his introductory statement in the report, “I hope you’ll join me in advocating for better buildings. As citizens, as taxpayers, as ideal- ists and as human beings: we deserve them.” USGBC will release the fi nal LEED in Motion
report, Impacts and Innovation, later this year. USGBC members can download LEED in Motion: Places and Policies as well as the fi rst report, LEED in Motion: People and Progress. In addition to English, the second report is also available in Spanish and Chinese.
