  LEED - NOT LEEDS

  For someone with casual interest, or who is new to the topic, I can understand this misnomer (though I have no clue where it comes from - the UK city perhaps?). If, however, one wishes to have credibility in this industry it would advisable to call the system by its proper name.  I realize this is pure semantics, but to professionals in the green building world it conveys the image that you have no idea what you're talking about - especially if you're a Chairman of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association Green Building Committee.
