22. LEED 2009 includes three major enhancements to the LEED rating system: harmonization, credit weightings, and regionalization. Harmonization: Credits and prerequisites from all LEED commercial and institutional rating systems have been consolidated and aligned… most effective common denominators, … consistent across all LEED 2009 rating systems. Necessary precedent-setting and clarifying information from Credit Interpretation Rulings (CIRs) were incorporated into the rating systems. LEED for Homes and LEED for Neighborhood Development will not be changed under LEED 2009. LEED 2009 HighlightsHarmonization

23. Credit weightings: …now have different weightings depending on their ability to impact different environmental and human health concerns. …LEED now awards more points for strategies that will have greater positive impacts on what matters most – energy efficiency and CO2 reductions. Each credit was evaluated against a list of 13 environmental impact categories, including climate change, indoor environmental quality, resource depletion and water intake, among many others. The impact categories were prioritized, … giving the most value to credits that have the highest potential for making the biggest change. The credits are all intact; they are just worth different amounts. As a result, LEED 2009 will operate on a 100-point scale. LEED 2009 HighlightsWeighting

LEED 2009 HighlightsWeighting Credit weightings tool: Download to learn all about what went into the weightings process (ZIP) »Examples: SSc4.1: The proximity of a building to public transportation allows for building occupants to utilize alternative transportation …. It affects a large component of the building’s environmental impact – its carbon footprint associated with transportation to and from the building. LEED for New Construction 2009 has increased the point value of this credit. WE Credit Category: Reduction in water use … While the impacts of these credits were primarily in water use, the benefits of water reduction are heavily emphasized in LEED for New Construction 2009. EAc2: Utilizing renewable energy for a building’s energy needs reduces the dependency on less environmentally sound energy sources, …

27. New in LEED 2009 Regionalization: Through USGBC’s regional councils, chapters and affiliates, regionally specific environmental issues were identified. For a project’s specific location, six LEED credits have been prioritized because they address the specific environmental issues. The project will be awarded up to four extra points (one point per credit) for earning the priority credits.

Rural Michigan: SSc1, SSc6.1, SSc6.2, SSc8, MRc5.2, and EAc2, to incentivize (among other things) the preservation of prime agricultural land, reduction of light trespass into neighboring natural habitats, and minimizing the amount and improving the quality of stormwater into the Great Lakes.

LEED APs without specialty can view their enrollment window through My Credentials on the GBCI website, www.gbci.org, beginning August 3, 2009.
