FAQ – Is my project required to follow addenda?

The October Technical Bulletin discussed the usefulness of the LEED v4 Addenda but which LEED v4 projects are required to follow the addenda?

Answer – Project teams must follow addenda published prior to the date of registration of that project; however addenda published after project registration is not required to be followed. Due to the helpfulness of addenda, though, it is strongly recommended that project teams follow any addenda published after the date of registration.

As always each addenda (cumulative or each individual) can be found on the resources section of the USGBC website. For project teams that prefer hard copies or PDFs of reference guides, be sure to download and refer to each new addendum as they are released for current direction. Those using the Online Reference Guide for LEED v4 will find the addenda automatically included.

For more information on LEED v4 addenda, please see the October LEED Technical Bulletin.
