LEED Certified Asheville Homes and Buildings

LEED Certified Asheville NC 

Detailed documentation requirements related to earning LEED credits discourages many builders from obtaining the certification.It is the rare builder who dares to climb the mountain of paperwork and jump the hurdles involved in the process.  We are looking for such rare builders here in the Asheville NC \. / 

I wondered if there is a way to track the and document in detail the requirements for LEED credits -perhaps  project management software?  LEED credit tracking modules could be a boon! Following my curiosity, I discovered a post by Houston Neal: Track LEED v3 Credits in Project Management Software     "Tracking LEED credits is a document-intensive process. Just ask any experienced LEED Accredited Professional (AP). Submittal documentation includes drawings, receipts, product spec sheets, photos, commission plans and more. Adding to the clutter, numerous project members will access and edit these documents," writes Neal.LEED Certified Gold Blue Ridge Parkway Destination Center

 "Project management software, especially web-based systems, act as a repository for the storage and retrieval of critical project documents.Simply upload a document into the system, then attach it to the appropriate LEED-credit log. From there you can track the history of a document, see every change that has been made and who made it." 

More INFO  on a web-based system that may interest our green builder-friends: a web-based system that offers LEED tracking functionality.
