GBCI implements updated LEED Certification Agreement for projects registered on/after April 28, 2025 (removes certain authority confirmation submissions)

Per the USGBC Help Center, GBCI implemented a new LEED Certification Agreement for projects registered on/after April 28, 2025. For those projects, certain administrative submissions are no longer required (e.g., confirmation of agent’s authority and confirmation of primary owner’s authority). Projects registered before that date remain subject to the earlier requirements. Compliance teams managing LEED registrations should update SOPs, onboarding checklists, and document retention expectations to align with the revised agreement requirements by registration date.
