I am still figuring out if I feel disappointed or relieved by the announcement- or both.

Great job of summarizing the situation and wonderful ideas Nadav. My take is that the primary rationale for the delay is due to international uptake of LEED.

We have a small project that consists af an existing one level building that will have an major renovation.

Is a mixed of natural ventilation and Mechanical ventilation for a residence allowed? Ashrae 62.1-2007 does not mention the requirements for such conditions, or maybe I don't see it.

Vinyl electrical tapes (such as Scotch® Super 33+™ Vinyl Electrical Tape) are included in this credit?

How is the 25' radius applied when the smoking area is on a rooftop? Do we assume the smoke drifts up or do I need to worry about windows below the smoking area?

Nadav, I agree with all your ideas. Plus the option of reversing their decision to extend.

Are public lavatory and kitchen faucets excluded from the requirement to be WaterSense labelled?

Can you take credit of the water fixtures under CS for a project and also under CI when the interior is built? or only in one rating system?

Can you comply with this credit if you are removing asbestos?
