LEED have been developed for implementation as a voluntary system and not to be
implemented as mandatory requirements within a jurisdiction. LEED Rating system
has number of prerequisites with many optional credits to allow focus on the green
building aspects most important to the user of the system. Standard 189.1 is
primarily based on the mandatory requirements that establish baseline criteria for a
high-performance green building found in voluntary rating systems. Standard 189.1
is a code-intended standard, written in regulatory language.
An updated version of ASHRAE 189.1 (full name: ANSI/ASHRAE/IES/USGBC Standard
189.1, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise
Residential Buildings) will provide baseline metrics and other technical requirements
that align with LEED prerequisites and the IgCC. The standard will likely draw some
technical requirements from LEED, but it will maintain its own consensus process
under ANSI.
The IgCC (for which 189.1 is already an alternative compliance path) will cease being
developed as an independent system and will instead become an adoptable, codeenforceable version of 189.1.
