would like to just emphasize that the information was an offline
discussion. I should have emphasized that the addenda(s) do require
official approval from the USGBC, which has not yet happened. This will be
something to watch closely, until this is either approved or rejected by the
USGBC.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=654541521-15022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>So,
I just got off the phone with the EA TAG member, and here are the basic items
he passed on to me:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN class=654541521-15022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
EA TAG recommended to the LEED steering group to allow all addenda, and
there was no response stating the addenda should not be
allowed</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=654541521-15022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>A
recent CIR was submitted to allow all addenda for ALL ASHRAE standards, and
the response allowing these addenda is not yet on the USGBC web page - and
this could take weeks to months to actually be online</FONT></SPAN></LI></UL>
<DIV><SPAN class=654541521-15022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Additionally, the EA TAG member mentioned that there are other issues
that have not been put on the website, or took longer (than it should have) to
appear on the web page. Examples were the approval of Title-24 and the Oregon
Energy Code being equivalent to ASHRAE 90.1-2004. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
