Hi, Could someone please clarify what the current situation is with the LEED for Homes rating system for international projects, under LEED v4? Is there no longer a minimum number of homes required? Must the Green Rater Training be done in the US? Assuming I could become a Green Rater in Guatemala, could I work with a Homes Provider QAD in the US, or is the Provider required to be based in the country where the project is located? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Alejandro, I have been investigating the same issue but it is not clear to me either. So I hope someone will clarify this issue.

Also, if someone knows of a Green Rater and Provider who have experience working on projects abroad, please send them my way! I would like to get a quote for a house of approximately 8,500 square feet, located in Guatemala. Thanks!

hi, Even we want to know how it works for international projects? Is it necessary that the LEED service providers has to be from the same country. Any help regarding this query will be appreciated.
