ASC Questions USGBC’s Consensus Effort at GSA Review
BETHESDA, MD – The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) questioned the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) commitment to a consensus-based approach in the development of its LEED rating system and as a result urged the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to not recommend it as the green certification standard for the federal government.
“While USGBC might argue it follows the federal government’s requirements for a consensus-base organization, it is clear by its random approach to making revisions to the recent LEED 2012 proposal that it lacks commitment to openness and due process,” said Mark Collatz, ASC’s Director of Government Relations.
