The U.S. Green Building Council has launched its online App Lab as part of its LEED Automation Program. The lab launched with eight applications, developed by LEED Automation Partners, and is designed for use with Internet browsers, tablets, smartphones, and other devices.

The App Lab is a searchable catalog of third-party apps that are integrated with LEED data. Each app is reportedly a fully functional software tool that can provide LEED project teams and administrators integration with LEED Online and address the LEED certification process. These tools are reportedly being used for helping with task management, data interchange, file uploads, credit scorecards, credit strategies, team messaging and other uses.
