Dear Sirs, I've worked on several LEED Projects and i'm a phd student, so my thesis revolves around developing a new LEED Credit, and i was wondering if i would like to test the applicability of the newly designed credit, the submission of a new pilot credit should be within a LEED Registered project ? or is it possible for me to submit it on its own , as i am a usgbc member ? also i want to know what is the time frame required for validating the suggested credit ?
