Melissa, you probably already know about the LEED international roundtable, but in case not there's a link to it. USGBC has been putting a real focus into making LEED more accessible for international projects, in a variety of ways (like translating LEED metrics into SI units, as one example).
You may have noticed there is a very strong contingent of people doing international projects on the forums here. So I would suggest you keep your questions coming (and add your experiences). Sound okay?
