A draft of some parts of LEED v4.1 for BD+C and ID+C is now available in the USGBC credit library. Interested in people's thoughts! To get you started on some of the highlights to check out, see this blog post.

I'm seeing the v4.1 drafts, rejoice! but I recall a mention somewhere of a list of 4.1 credits v4 projects can beta test individually. Have you seen such a list? We are interested in some of the LEM and BPDO updates, but not ready to shift to a ASHRAE 90.1-2016 baseline in permit phase...

Teresa, I don't think there is a list out yet. Seems likely that they will release that when registrations begin for the beta next year?

Can already registered LEED v4 projects replace some of the credits with v 4.1 version of those credits (which are more easily achievable)?

Ragesh, I heard from USGBC that this would be possible, and that they will release the list of available ACPs when the beta begins.

The LEEDv4.1 Beta Guide (https://new.usgbc.org/leed-v41#bdc) states that projects registered as LEEDv4 can substitute v4.1 prior to their final review. There is a table with specific guidance for a short set of credits, but otherwise it looks like all v4.1 credits are open to use by v4 projects. In LEED Online, there is a small circle with up/down arrows, to the right of each credit, to select "I am pursuing a LEEDv4.1 credit substitution for this credit."
