LEED v4 is Approved and Will be Launched in November
In response to concerns that the
changes in LEED v4 were too abrupt, USGBC announced last year that it would
ease into it, with project teams allowed to register for either LEED v4 or LEED
2009 until June 1, 2015. In addition, projects registered under LEED 2009 will
be allowed to complete the certification process under that system as long as
they do so before it “sunsets,” which could happen as late as 2021.
USGBC is trying to attract new projects to the system by offering free certification for the first Platinum LEED v4 projects. In addition, USGBC is planning to have LEED online forms, updated LEED
credentialing exams, reference guides and educational offerings ready by the
conference.
To help members understand LEED v4, ABC
is hosting a webinar Sept. 24 at 2 p.m. (ET), that will provide an
update of the development process, a general overview of the technical changes
proposed and information of specific interest to the chapter. It will also
include an early look at supporting tools and resources for the LEED v4
program. The presentation has been approved by the Green Building Certification
Institute for 1.5 CEs for General, LEED BD&C-,ID&C-, and EBOM- specific
hours, and 1.5 AIA LUs.
