ASTM E 1980 was withdrawn in 2010 so, by what other method should the SRI be calculated? (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - 04:52 pm:    None. It is still a requirement to use the standard, withdrawn or not, to calculate the SRI. Until LEED changes the requirement, it should stand as is, and the standard can still be used, and is still available from ASTM for information purposes. The standard was withdrawn because it had not been updated in the 8 years since its last approval, which is the rule for ASTM standards.

It's the only way to establish SRI.

To secure the LEED point associated with engaging a LEED AP, is it essential that the LEED AP was acredited under the new system (with specialist designation) or can an appointed LEED AP who had not opted for the new system still be counted towards earning that innovation in design credit?
