The prescriptive path under Option 3 still references the "Advanced Buildings Core Performance Guide". However, this guide has been "sunset" by NBI and no longer exists. Typical.
So are we supposed to reference NBI's more recent “New Construction Guide”?
Thanks.

That version was in effect when LEED v4 was written. That version does exist on NBI's web site.
There is a pilot credit available to project wishing to use the New Construction Guide.

Hi Marcus - Yes, exactly!
So is Option 3, as the v4 reference guide is written, no longer an option?

Ok, thanks - Do you have any idea where we can find a copy of the Core Performance Guide, since it is no longer available from NBI, and the link to it on usgbc.org is broken? Thanks!

I see you can still get the errata on the web site. I would call NBI to see how you might be able to get a copy.
