Dear Sirs,
I Was wondering whether the LEED for Homes scheme is now available for international projects. Last year it was still a "Pilot" scheme, if I'm not mistaken.
Also, are all the BD+C schemes now available for international projects (including healthcare, hospitality, data centers)?
Thanks!

Hi Omar,
Residential projects outside the United States may apply to take part in the LEED for Homes International Pilot. A FAQ and application for participation in the pilot can be found on our website: http://www.usgbc.org/leed/certification/homes
The pilot is open to projects of any size in any country.
The requirements for international pilot projects are the same as those in the U.S. and are outlined in the LEED for Homes Rating System: http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-homes-v2008-current-version
A Green Rater is still required to provide verification services on all LEED for Homes projects.
Best,
Maya Karkour

Thanks Mika, I was just wondering if it is STILL in pilot - but it seems so.
Do you know if ALL LEED v4 BD+C schemes (including healthcare, hospitality, and data centers) are available internationally? I know that NC, CS, and Schools are available.
Thanks!
