Two More LEED^™ Rating Systems Added

For the Summer 2007 update, LEED-EB, for existing buildings, and LEED-CI, for commercial interiors/tenant fit-up, have been added to SpecLink^®. Prior to this, LEED-NC (since Winter 2001) and LEED-CS (since last quarter) were the only LEED rating systems that SpecLink addressed. To address any of the four rating systems, the specifier simply selects the desired rating system and the automated checklist sections automatically exclude inapplicable requirements. Where credit numbers differ between systems, SpecLink changes the credit numbers in each LEED-related section and form where the numbers are referenced. See related articles in this newsletter for more details on how SpecLink supports each of the four rating systems. All four rating systems are addressed by the LEED Credit Summary section that "walks" you through identification of the credits to be achieved, and the LEED Certification Procedures section explains it all to the Contractor.
