LEEDuser has gotten word that USGBC has extende the third public comment period for LEED 2012 to March 27th. So, keep on commenting!

Has anyone else checked the math on the MR Construction Demolition Waste credit?

I corresponded with our audio designers (Fred/Richard) and here is a summary of their comments. Since I submitted my comment already, I was not able to add their thoughts to the public comment.

There appears to be four options worth a total of two points.

This credit is worth 2 points. According to the draft, you get 2 points for having two or more subsystems submetered, however if you only have one subsystem submetered, you get 0 points.

According to the draft, it appears that the commissioning investigation credit now requires both a Level II Audit and commissioning, as opposed to one or the other like the previous version.

Based on the way this credit appears in the draft, you get one point for having the 10 feet of matting, and then an additional point if you have either 1) MERV-13 filtration in place, 2) Carbon Dio

The USGBC should continue to offer some version of its previous options for documenting material compliance. This new approach is not ready for prime-time.

Could anyone please comment on this process in general? Neither the USGBC or the GBCI goes into it in much detail. I have downloaded and reviewed the credit forms.

I just learned of this award and my project just recieved the LEED EBOM platinum award, would we still be eligible?
