Does anyone know how to apply an Addenda to a credit, if the Addenda was issued AFTER the project was registered? Do I simply write a narrative explaining that I have applied an Addenda? Any guidance would be appreciated. I am looking to apply the Addenda relaxing the requirement to filter both return and outside air with MERV 13 filters, to only requiring outside air be filtered with MERV 13. Thanks!

Barbara,
Yes, that is what I had to do on a LEED for Schools project. Be explicit about the issue date of the addenda and include the exact language to make it easier for the reviewer. I found on my project that the LEED Reviewer was not familiar with the Addenda revision I was referencing. Gluck.

Alternately, if an addendum came out AFTER your project was registered, can you propose that your project should be exempt from that addednum? We have flag pole lighting for a project that was registered in Oct 2010, and the November 2011 addendum cancelled out a previous CIR that allowed flag pole lighting (for the American Flag).

Correction: November 2010 addendum cancelled out a previous CIR that allowed flag pole lighting.

Anya, if an addendum came out after your project was registered, you are not bound by it, unless you choose to be.
