What is the protocol for advertising LEED certified units in a multi-family project? Does the entire project have to be certified before the builder/developer can advertise their LEED certified status?
Within LEED for Homes, the term \'multi-family\' refers to stacked units, whether they be duplexes, triplexes, or apartment buildings. In these cases, the entire building must be certified at once and the homes cannot be advertised as LEED certified until they\'re all completed and certified.If this project consists of townhomes, each individual townhome can be certified separately and the builder can advertise for those particular units as they become certified.
