Registration now open for LEED v4.1 for New Construction and Interior Spaces

By Peter Fabris, Contributing Editor | January 29, 2019

Project registration for LEED v4.1 for both new construction projects as well as interior spaces with LEED v4.1 BD+C and LEED v4.1 ID+C is now open.

The latest version of LEED emphasizes human health and integrative building design, along with improved energy performance. The updates also advocate for improved performance throughout the life of buildings, reward leaders based on their performance, and incorporate performance reporting to enable building owners to track progress towards environmental, social, and governance goals.

Users can register using LEED Online, review the LEED v4.1 Beta Guide and download the LEED v4.1 rating system. Updated education videos and live online webinars featuring USGBC subject matter experts are also available.

Currently, there are more than 96,200 commercial projects participating in LEED in 167 countries and territories, USGBC says.
