Jenny's summary of the major changes is really insightful - thanks for sharing this.

The ITE Parking Generation Study refferences school population for units in determing # of parking spaces for University/college buildings.

Is the heading of the table above "LEED 2012 Second Comment Period" incorrect? I am assuming it is, and these are the credits for the Third Comment Period.

I would also note that the credit referencing the IPMVP, which has been in LEED for at least a decade, was removed.

I still fail to see the reason that the Credits for Material Life Cycle Disclosure and Assessment and Responsible Extraction of Raw Materials are limited to two credits when the offer three differe

I find the naming convention of "option 1, option 2 etc" confusing in light of the fact that these are not really options or alternative ways of achieving a single credit, but rather can be combine

Can anyone clarify if the column "Regularly Occupied Area" should correlate with "Regularly Occupied Spaces" as defined in EQc8: Views and Daylighting or should it be all occupy able space?

In the future try posting under the appropriate LEED prerequisite or credit, you will get more traffic that way. Your comment was tagged under EAp2 so that would be the best place.

Some communications during public discussion left the impression that individual private low VOC programs would like to be referenced in LEED 2012 low-emitting interiors credit, such as UL Greengua

Outside the US several industries are surprised to see less options of how to demonstrate low VOC emissions inside than outside the US: Only US-based low VOC programs are accepted in North America.
