How do I recertify my LEED Zero Carbon, Energy or Water project?
The recertification process for LEED Zero Carbon, Energy, and Water is nearly identical to the initial certification process:
- The project team will first need to register for recertification using the LEED Zero: Registration and Review form.
- Enter performance data from the most recent year of operations in the Arc platform and upload supporting documentation such as utility bills, offsite renewable energy contracts, and source energy/carbon/water balance calculation. Please refer to the LEED Zero Program Guide for information about the required documentation.
- Once all data and documentation are entered into Arc, contact leedzero@usgbc.org to request an invoice for the recertification review fee.
- After payment is submitted, complete the LEED Zero: Registration and Review form again indicating that your project is ready for review. You'll need to attach the receipt that you received to submit the form. The project must be submitted for review within 60 days of the end of the one-year recertification reporting period.
