Troy, Mich. - For the fifth year in a row, Environmental Design + Construction will publish The LEED Guide, an exclusive section published with the U.S. Green Building Council in the July issue. In this year's edition, the guide will once-again break down Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) advancements and update the magazine's 23,000 BPA-audited green-focused subscribers: architects, specifying engineers, designers, building owners and more. Plus, more than 10,000 additional copies are provided to the USGBC for new member kits, trade show distribution and education purposes throughout the year.

Editorial content spotlighted in the LEED Guide includes: the past, present and future of LEED; the latest current and pilot LEED programs including LEED-NC, LEED-EB, LEED-CI, LEED-CS, LEED Homes, and Application Guides; LEED Professional Accreditation; The USGBC; and LEED projects in the U.S. and internationally.

Advertisements in the LEED Guide are available exclusively for USGBC members.
