Notes:

There are three significant ways in which LEED Interpretations are different from Project CIRs:
1. Precedent-setting
LEED Interpretations are to be used by any project certifying under an applicable rating system. All project teams are required to adhere to all LEED interpretations posted before their registration date. This also applies to other addenda. Adherence to rulings posted after a project registers is optional, but strongly encouraged.
A Project CIR can only be used by the project that submitted it.
2. Published Online
LEED interpretations will be published in a searchable database at usgbc.org. Project CIRs are not published publically.
3. Subject to consensus-based review
LEED interpretations undergo review by the US Green Building Council\'s (USGBC) member-selected volunteer LEED committees.
Project CIRs are created by the certification review teams at the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI).
