LEED v4 public comment period is open

USGBC is allowing a fifth round of public comment on LEED v4, which is scheduled for release next year. Public comment period is from October 2 - December 10, though only 1/4 of the credits and prerequisites are up for comment.

Here are the proposed credits for new construction: https://new.usgbc.org/credits/new-construction/v4-draft

To comment you or your organization must be a member of USGBC. Comments appear to be entered online (must be logged in), like comments to a blog would be posted. From the USGBC:
There are two ways to submit a comment for fifth public comment: our new LEED credit library or LEEDuser discussion forums.
Guidelines
  • Each respondent may submit only one set of comments on any individual credit.
  • Comments may not be edited once submitted.
  • Representatives of USGBC member and non-member organizations are encouraged to submit comments collectively.
