Would your project benefit from registering to LEED v2.2?


If your project is not in a dense urban setting you can lose valuable credits for transportation and density/community-connectivity under LEED 2009. The deadline for registration to LEED pre-2009 is this Friday, 6/26. This includes LEED New Construction and Existing Buildings. The cost of registration is $450 for members plus the time to process the registration. Once registered under v2.2, the project may have until 12/31/09 to move to LEED 2009 at no extra cost. This gives time to see if additional energy savings and renewable energy credits of 2009 out-weigh the penalty of not having density/connectivity or public transportation.
