Hello All,

Thought I'd bring the new?policy regarding CIRs for?LEED 2009/v3 projects to the Bldg-sim community's?attention for discussion and potential action.??It's a big change.? (The following is copied from the new GBCI Policy Manual).

All CIR rulings that are generated in response to a CIR submitted on or before June 26, 2009, and pertain to a pre-LEED 2009 Rating System, are precedent setting.? Such rulings will be referenced in the CIR database.? Accordingly, the CIR ruling will carry forth and apply to other pre-LEED 2009 projects submitted by the same Project Team and also be available as a ruling for other pre-LEED 2009 projects registered by other project teams. ?
eliminating the need to submit repeated CIRs on the same topics for each model/project.
understandable given the complexity of the standard and its application across such a broad range of building types.? However,?this reality is unfortunate at best and unfair and unreasonable at worst.??
