Hi everyone,
We're performing a LEED V4.1 Datacentre certification. LEED V4 stated that in addition to all "regular" minimum requirements, the project should also achieve "(...) a minimum of 2% of the 5% energy savings must come from building power and cooling infrastructure."
Is there such a requirement in LEED V4.1? I am unable to find any reference to it in the July 2024 Beta version of the Reference Guide.
Thank you all in advance for your help!

That provision was removed. Under v4 you had to get 5% savings. Under v4.1 you just have to meet the standard's requirements. Since no savings are required you don't have to obtain any savings from the power or cooling infrastructure either.
