LEED Project Management Software
Have you noticed that the LEED project management software field continues to thin out? Or maybe you haven't noticed, because you're not using it...

Back in 2009 and 2010, LEED professionals were getting busier and busier, but LEED Online, the official documentation platform, was not keeping pace. For a brief moment, LEED Automation appeared to be the answer, with a variety of companies putting forward software to streamline the process, reducing laborious documentation steps to a few clicks.
Today, the field has narrowed to a few platforms. Here are the ones we're aware of.

Provide an acoustically superior environment for occupants
This credit encourages quality acoustical design, which provides many benefits to occupants, including increased comfort and productivity.
However, the credit requirements can be difficult and expensive to achieve, and can require careful balancing against other project concerns, such as materials selection or open floor planning. Consider enlisting the expertise of an acoustical consultant to ensure your project meets the applicable requirements for all occupied spaces.

Keeping a finger on the pulse of your building
This credit sets up infrastructure for building owners and managers who want to actively monitor energy consumption in their buildings. Advanced energy metering provides a granular level of energy use data, which building operators can use to proactively keep building performance in tune during operations.
While there are compliance paths that are applicable to smaller and simpler building types, owners of larger and more energy intensive buildings are likely to see the greatest value from the application of this credit.

Focus on integration
Performance under this credit is based on ASHRAE 90.1-2016, which represents a big jump in stringency from the earlier version. Additional creativity and effort are required to achieve higher levels of energy efficiency under this credit.
