101.10 [ ← ] Equivalency. Wherever reference is made to the LEED® or GreenPoint Rated systems, a comparable equivalent rating system may be used if approved by the Director. The applicable LEED®, GreenPoint Rated or equivalent versions of performance standards for applications subject to this chapter are:

LEED v4 for Interior Design and Construction (LEED v4 ID+C)

LEED v4 for Building Design and Construction (LEED v4 BD+C)

LEED v4 for Homes Design and Construction

GreenPoint Rated (GPR) Single Family New Home Construction – 9.0 or current

GreenPoint Rated (GPR) Multifamily New Home Construction – 9.0 or current

GreenPoint Rated (GPR) Existing Multifamily –v1.0 or current

Wherever specific LEED prerequisites or credits are cited, such references are to LEED v4 BD+C. More recent LEED and GreenPoint Rated versions may be used, provided the credits and points achieved are as or at least as stringent as LEED v4 BD+C or GPR v9.0.

Wherever the LEED or GreenPoint Rated systems include a minimum energy or other performance requirement, the permit applicant may choose to meet the minimum performance requirements with an alternative equivalent method approved by the Director.

Compliance with any of these requirements may be verified and/or certified by any means, including third-party review or equivalent requirements verified via other rating systems, as approved by the Director.
