What are the disadvantages of sustainable LEED practices?
Great question. I am a LEED accredited professional and architect who has had exposure to the design and documentation of LEED buildings. As a brief background, LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design". It was put into place by the US Green Building Council many years ago, and in recent years has really caught on. There are a few types of LEED rating systems, depending on the nature of the facility under review. For example LEED-NC is for new construction, LEED-CI is for LEED corporate interiors, and LEED-EB is for existing buildings. Each rating system has its own lengthy list of strategies that can be applied to approve the efficiency and sustainability of a facility. In New Construction, the main categories are Site Selection, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Air Quality, and Innovation in Design. Each of these main categories have many sub-strategies. If the building meets the requirements of the various criteria - credit is given in the form of points. If enough total points are obtained, the building is eligible for LEED ratings. The minimal threshold for rating is called "LEED Rated". If enough extra points are obtained beyond this, the building can vault up to "LEED Silver". Even more points and eventually it becomes "LEED Gold". The highest possible rating is "LEED Platinum". Now back to your question: What are the disadvantages of LEED? I would say that one disadvantage is that designers that are inexperienced with LEED may tend to become pre-occupied with meeting a checklist, rather than spending that time arriving at inventive and creative design solutions specific to that site/project (that may or may not have also achieved LEED rating). Another potential disadvantage to LEED is the belief that a building is "good" merely because it achieved LEED ratings. On a massive scale, this could potentially lead to an era of architecture with an inappropriate standard of judging a building. Having said this, it is my own personal belief that LEED is a positive force.

What does a leed administrator do?
A LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Administrator participates in the building certification process. When a building is attempting to achieve a level of LEED certification through the US Green Building Council, they must compile documentation providing information for the credits they are attempting to obtain. A true LEED administrator must review all submittals for compliance with the specifications of the project as well as with the LEED requirements. Administrators may also conduct research on potential credits by surfing through the US Green Building Council knowledge base. For further information, I suggest you go to the Green Design Community at greendesigncommunity.com. That is an on-line community of LEED Accredited Professionals (AP)s and LEED Green Associates (GA)s. I am sure many of the members can assist you with any further information you may need.
Who issue the LEED certificate?
The US Green Building Council (usgbc.org) handles certification of projects applying for LEED Certification. However, the USGBC has outsourced the actual review of the project submissions to other firms, since the amount of projects applying for certification has been growing at almost an exponential rate.
