Snodgrass, Kathleen . 2009. Implementing LEED: Strategies That Work for the Forest Service. 0973 2802. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Missoula Technology and Development Center.

LEED-certified buildings are designed and constructed a little differently than those using standard practices. It's important to use cost-effective design strategies and to work with designers who are experienced with integrated design methods and with LEED design and construction. Over the long term, effectively designed LEED buildings can be as cost effective as ordinary buildings (or even more cost effective). The information and tools in this report should make it easier to implement LEED in the Forest Service.
