The LEED Steering Committee (LSC) is a standing committee of the Board of Directors. The LEED Steering Committee (LSC) is an integrated group of volunteers and staff charged with developing and maintaining LEED as a leadership tool, preserving the integrity of the LEED rating system, and ensuring the use of the consensus process to evolve LEED in accordance with the mission, guiding principles, and strategic plan of USGBC. The LEED Steering Committee is also the governing body of all LEED committees and its charter can be found within the Foundations of LEED document (PDF).
Three principles guide LEED Steering Committee activities:
- The LSC will conduct itself in a way that ensures transparent, participatory and effective governance.
- The LSC will ensure LEED remains technically rigorous, market-relevant and leadership-oriented.
- The LSC will ensure collaboration among LEED subcommittees, working groups and staff.
