Source: usgbc.org
New initiative for comprehensive data collection and analysis methodology development will be shared with LEED building owners and project teams to help close performance prediction gaps
"The U.S. Green Building Council today stepped up its commitment to improved building performance with the launch of the Building Performance Initiative, designed to put in place a comprehensive data collection effort from all buildings that have achieved LEED certification; implement an appropriate analysis methodology of that data; and provide feedback to building owners so they have better information with which to address any performance gaps that stem from predicted building performance versus actual performance."

A nice step to further educate owners, developers, owners and managers of the cost-effectiveness of achieving LEED certifications.
This is a great response to the LEED certification process. After first awarding designations to buildings, the verification of long term systems in place should be helpful to others considering the process. This is a great move to certify posted results.
