 *LEED Sustainable Sites TAG – Core Committee Appointments*



The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is seeking expressions of interest
from qualified applicants to serve as members of the LEED(R) Sustainable Sites
Technical Advisory Group (SS TAG) Core Committee.  The SS TAG advises the
LEED product committees, the LEED Steering Committee and USGBC staff on
technical matters for product development and credit interpretation
requests.  The TAG also maintains consistency in the methods of assessment
and stringency of standards across the LEED rating system portfolio of
products as this relates to credits within the Sustainable Sites category.
There are currently two vacant positions on the Core Committee.



The TAG is made up of individuals with diverse areas of expertise. At this
time, we are especially interested in new members with expertise in the
following areas:

   - overall experience with the LEED rating systems
   - specific expertise on the following topics in relation to new
   commercial and institutional construction, as well as larger developments:

-   Alternative Transportation (Public Transportation Access, Bicycle
Storage & Changing Rooms, Low-Emitting and Fuel Efficient Vehicles, Parking
Capacity)

-   Heat Island Effect (Roof, Non-Roof)



Core Committee members must be able and willing to commit at least two hours
per week to the SS TAG.  Regularly scheduled committee meetings are held via
conference call at least every two weeks on Wednesdays between 2:00pm and
3:00pm ET.  Additional conference calls are scheduled as needed.
