Ralf, the key piece of wording in the v4 credit language for this credit is "specialty appropriate for the project." This means that a BD+C professional would not earn this credit on an EBOM project.

Really. I can agree with that...however. LEED for Homes is the only rating system to specifically requires a LEED AP - Homes and says that in the credit language. All the rest just say "specialty appropriate for the project," which in my opinion leaves it open.
So for v4 rating systems...
BD+C Specialty = rating systems that have "New Construction" in its title (except Homes); CS
ID+C Specialty = CI, Retail-CI, Hospitality-CI
O+M Specialty = v4 EBOM rating systems with "Existing" in the title?
Homes Specialty = rating systems that have "Homes" in its title.
ND specialty = rating systems that have "Neighborhood Development" in its title.
Why doesn't GBCI just say LEED AP with such and such specialty are acceptable?

I am little bit confused with this issue, too. I think we need more clear guidance. Then, LEED APs without specialty (those earned the credential before 2009) are not eligible for any credit?

SoYoung, that's correct. It's a key change with v4.

That's for LEED v4. Clear. Thanks, Tristan.
