Has there been any clarification on recertification under previous version for this credit. My building is currently certified under Version 2 and going for our recertification soon and was wondering if there is any additional information for this. This credit alone is the factor if we choose to recertify or just start a new certification because of the possibility of the 4 points for this credit. I have 2 questions. First, if we go for this credit, would we have to submit the whole performance period (5 years) or the standard previous 25 %. Second is that a lot of the credits we went for have signifigant changes and when were in compliance in the older version, we may not be in version 2009 so that documentation that we have eventhough is compliant with older version, not with the newer, would this affect achieving this credit? I want to make sure we make the correct decision to either recertify or start our certification over. Please advise and thank you in advance for your time.

David, great question and very timely as many buildings are in the same boat. Please contact the GBCI direct. There is a 'streamlining path' the the GBCI have created to help those buildings going from V2 to v3 under a recert. Obviously each building is different depending on the credits that were gained under V2 and potential credits under V3.
