    The U.S. Green Building Council recently launched the App Lab, a searchable catalog of software tools intended to support the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification process.

    Designed for use with Internet browsers, tablets, smartphones, and other devices, the applications, developed by LEED Automation partners, integrate with LEED Online, providing assistance in the areas of task management, data interchange, file uploading, credit scorecards, credit strategies, team messaging, and more.

    “Using the LEED App Lab will save time and effort, reducing costs while improving the value of LEED projects,” David Pratt, president and chief executive officer of LEED Automation partner LoraxPro, said.

Prior to that, he worked as an editor for daily newspapers and a specialty-publications company. He has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University.
