EQUIVALENCIES

The LEED rating system is written based on the most up-to-date and widely available standards. However, alternative standards or compliance paths may also be available to project teams. The Project Priority Library includes a list of equivalencies and alternative compliance paths available by credit, project types, or region.

If there is no guidance available allowing an equivalency or alternative compliance path, project teams may submit a request for USGBC to determine equivalency.
