The USGBC announced recently that it will bring back Credit Interpretation Reports for public use. Long a valuable tool for LEED project teams everywhere, the public, precedent-setting CIRs disappeared with the coming of LEED 2009. And the USGBC says there may be a format improvement, too. Whereas the old CIR database was confusing to use, search and refer to, the new CIRs may be issued on one single, comprehensive, easy-to-search document. This could mean big savings in time, money and emotional distress for project teams and LEED administrators.
