I'm usually in agreement any time there is a criticism of LEED, but this time I think I'd side with the USGBC. Sounds like the ACC is upset because some chemicals got 'black-listed', but to feel threatened by this seems juvenile in a way. I'm all in favor of promoting some innovation in the chemical industry in order to get products that are safer. Bravo LEED!
