A. Next version of LEED
B. Errata and Addenda
C. LEED reviewer comments
D. LEED technical requests
E. Adaptations
F. Credit interpretation requests - correct answer A. Next version of LEED
B. Errata and Addenda
E. Adaptations
There are three basic types of LEED improvements ratings systems that are
updated through revisions on a regular development cycle.
Next version: This is the comprehensive improvement phase of LEED
development that occurs through a periodic evaluation and revision process.
