Does the LPE only apply to LEED for existing Buildings or does this exemption work for LEED for new construction and major renovations?

LPE does apply to LEED for New Construction. LEED Online version 3 has a table highlighting the applicable credits though it looks like only EAp2 and EQc5 apply. Not sure of the easiest way to find the table but I entered a credit on the scorecard and clicked on LPE. After that I followed a link to additional information on the LPE which included this table.

You can find the list of forms with LPEs in LEED Online v3. When you log in, click "Help" on the top, then click on the left sidebar "Navigating Projects in LOv3" > "During: Tools & Resources > "Licensed Professional Exemptions (LPE)" and the link to the Table of Credits with LPE is provided. It looks like it's a little out of date because I think you can use an LPE for the Registered Architect on SSc7.1 in LEED NC 2009, but that is not mentioned in the table.
