Once recertified, these will meet the standards of the newest available version of the rating system.<\/p>\n<p>USGBC created a structure to shift toward the ongoing, performance-based certification and monitoring model when LEED 2009 was introduced. Now, recertification will be available to all occupied and in-use projects that have previously achieved certification. To be eligible for certification, projects must submit 12 months of data demonstrating continued improved performance. The recertification will be available for three years.<\/p>\n<h2>Facts, figures<\/h2>\n<p>As of October 2018, there were more than 43,700 LEED-certified commercial projects across 167 countries and territories, and more than 7.2 billion square feet of LEED-certified space on the world map, spanning all property types\u2014from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/historic-dallas-high-school-scores-leed-gold-certification\/\">schools<\/a> to hospitals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/restored-jacksonville-landmark-earns-leed-silver\/\">landmarks<\/a> to new construction and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/leed-for-cities-communities-grow-across-the-us\/\">entire cities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI)\u2019s recertification review will award a maximum of 100 LEED points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy performance: 1-33 points<\/li>\n<li>Water performance: 1-15 points<\/li>\n<li>Waste performance: 1-8 points<\/li>\n<li>Transportation performance: 1-14 points<\/li>\n<li>Indoor Environmental Quality Performance: 1-20 points<\/li>\n<li>Prior LEED Certification Credit: 10 points.
