I have a very large project that will not start construction until 2022 or 2023 and it will be under construction for several years. I therefore want to be careful about sunset dates. I'm thinking to register it under v4.0 and "cherry pick" v4.1 credits.
Q1: Has anyone seen or heard of USGBC implementing Sunset Dates for v4.0? If so, please direct me to where they are outlined.
Q2: If you register a project under v4.0, is there a limit to how many v4.1 credits can be "cherry picked"?

There is no posted sunset date for v4 yet, since v4.1 is still in beta. I imagine they will release it once the new standard has been balloted, assuming it is approved.
There is no limit to substitutions of v4.1 credits.
