Hi I'm helping a colleague who has a project that was registered in 2011 for LEED CI 2009 and construction completed / substantial completion in 2011. Work on LEED proceeded very slowly due to owner and consultant foot-dragging. Now the project is ready to submit and the LEED reviewer is saying the project is too old to be certified, citing a 2 year sunset clause in the "Policy Manual". No warning was apparently ever given to the team. Has anyone every successfully gotten out of a situation like this? Thanks

Yeah, my team had also heard about this limitation and we always warn our clients months before the two years after building occupation. I think i tis going to be difficult to argue with the reviewers...
