Bill Reed

LEED AP

BArch, Cornell

An internationally recognized proponent and practitioner in sustainability and regeneration, Bill is a principal in Regenesis, Inc. – a living systems planning and education organization. His work centers on creating the framework for and managing an integrative, whole-systems design process. This work is known as Regenerative Development. It is a meta-discipline that unifies the pattern understanding practices of Ecological Design, Biophilia, and Organizational Psychology into a design process that lifts building and community planning into full integration and co-evolution with living systems. The objective: to improve the overall quality of the physical, social and spiritual life of our living places and therefore the planet.

Bill is an author of many technical articles and contributed to many books including co-author of the seminal work, “Integrative Design Guide to Green Building.” He is a founding Board of Director of the US Green Building Council and one of the co-founders of the LEED Green Building Rating System, the founding Chair of the ANSI Committee on Whole System Integration, and a member of the Advisory Board for Environmental Building News. In addition to being considered one of the leading thinkers in this field, Bill has also consulted on over two hundred green design commissions, the majority which are LEED Gold and Platinum and Living Building Challenge projects.  He is also a keynote speaker at major building and design events as well as a guest lecturer to universities throughout Europe and North America including Harvard, MIT, Princeton and UPenn.
