Nice reply Nadav. I agree that we have to move to performance measuring, something that is available in LEED as a credit, but not a prerequisite- We should also not forget that the objective of LEED is market transformation, which implies that even projects with limited reduced environmental impact and some improvements in indoor environment can already earn a LEED rating such as LEED Certified, which, lets be honest, not is that challenging. I am sure that between a LEED V3.0 certified and a LEED V4.0 Platinum level, there is a whole spectrum. To some people it is all LEED, but it is actually quite different. On the other hand, if LEED were too challenging, it would need to the change in the market that USGBC is looking for.
