Hi all, I wanted to update the group that earlier this week, LSC held a vote and voted to keep the original sunset date of LEED 2009 (the last day LEED projects can submit for registration of that

Thank you all for your comments. USGBC is indeed listening! I know many comments have mentioned the poll at Greenbuild.

Given the changes embodied in LEED v4 and the feedback from users I think that USGBC made a very wise decision.

Delaying V4 requirement will mean minimal uptake of V4 in the market for 2 years. Unfortunate, because V4 has some great additions.

This extension is most unfortunate as it makes LEED out of sync with ASHRAE’s energy targets for NZE per the ASHRAE 2020 Vision.

USGBC has announced that LEED 2009 project registration is extended to October 2016. Does anyone knows if the same applies for the LEED GAs and APs exams?

I would suggest that USGBC provide a more in depth explanation for the delay.

USGBC raised the bar, but then lowered it again?

Gary--I'm interested in your experience with the College that couldn't do EBOM v4 because of the prereqs. Can you say which prereqs were the challenge?

One thought that keeps coming into my mind is how this comes on the heals of the recently announced 'partnership' with ACC. My guess is that this has something to do with the delay.
