Hi LEEDusers -
The idea behind pilot credits is to get feedback from project team members on the concepts we're testing so that USGBC can learn from your experience and make these credits better (so that you can make your buildings better, so that we can learn from that, so that we can make LEED better, so that you can make your buildings better...).
We can't do it without you so get on with it already.
Spread the word to friends and colleagues and if we run in to each other at Greenbuild, I'll buy you a beer!

Hi John,I'm curious why you believe LEED Automation will promote integrative design. I'm not disagreeing, but wondering what it is about Automation (which is taking many forms) that would do this. Also, regarding the extensive documentation requirements--I think that much of that is tied to this being a pilot credit, and therefore designed for LEED staff and committees to collect feedback about how the credit is working. As pilot credits become actual credits they won't require nearly as much.

Thanks, John.I thought that's what you might be referring to, but wanted to confirm. I'd love to hear from people who are using some of the integrated LEED project management tools, to see if they really are helping making the design process more integrated.And I love the idea of a dedicated forum page on LEED Automation. Adrianna Schneider has already started such a page with a question she posted. Shall we take this conversation over there?
