LEED Rant #17

You know at some point I actually have to finish documentation on LEED and be done with this process.

My biggest problem with LEED for Homes to date: It's not a progressive process.
No, like fighting for equal rights progressive but that it hall has to happen at once. It works for commercial, but it doesn't fit home owners. You get ONE chance at getting your rating. How many home owners do you know who are actually 'done' with their homes in one round???

The process should be set up where you could build upon past performance. If in 3 years I put up a wind turbine, why can't I tack those points on to my score? Instead, the process caters to having more $$ to gain more points which makes it inaccessible to many.

LEED for Homes.
Star Date 276.
That's how many days I've been filling out paperwork.
Gas bill last month: $25 | Electric bill: $60
