LEED® Optimize Energy Performance, Mandatory Point Minimum
In accordance with direction from its Board of Directors and its LEED Steering Committee to immediately increase the LEED Green Building Rating System's impact in reducing building energy related greenhouse gas emissions, USGBC is proposing to update all balloted commercial LEED Green Building Rating Systems with the following change:

All LEED projects are required to achieve two (2) Optimize Energy Performance points. The two point additional requirement goes into effect for all LEED projects registering two weeks after the date of USGBC member approval. LEED for Homes or LEED for Neighborhood Development projects are exempt from this requirement. Pending member approval, this requirement will go into effect June 26th, 2007.
