NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
USGBC released proposed updates to EAp2/EAc1 for LEED 2009, which at its most basic, requires a minimum 4 points under EAc1. This has several impacts, and per USGBC's announcement (here: http://www.usgbc.org/articles/public-comment-period-open-until-1113-leed... ) they will be accepting comments both in the LEED Credit Library, and here on LEEDuser.
