As an FYI, the updated & improved version 2.0 DES guidance document is now official and posted. It covers D&C programs for both LEED v2.x and LEED 2009; see the front matter in the document for details on how to apply it to each. The EBOM version is not ready yet but will be later this summer.<BR>
<BR>
You can find this document at several places in the LEED area of our site, including here:<BR>
