EnergyStar Reporting

Joann - Teams need to be aware of and adhere to all Addenda (LEED Interpretations and Corrections) that have occurred before your project's registration date and should keep abreast of ones issued afterwards. Read more about Addenda in USGBC's Help - https://www.usgbc.org/help-topic/addenda-(corrections-+-interpretations). You can check out addenda via the Addenda Database - https://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations or through the Addenda button in each credit in the Credit Library - https://www.usgbc.org/credits.
