New Resource: One-Page LEED for Homes Snapshot Card

The USGBC graphic designers have created a handy one-page overview of a LEED for Homes project. This PDF breaks down the main credit categories into color-coded areas, walks through each category credit-by-credit, and shows where each of the 136 points in LEED for Homes falls. It is a useful tool for initial project scoring, as a guide during a LEED design charrette, and as a takeaway for educational events.
