Under which circumstance can a project team choose to follow addenda published after a certain date?

The correct choice is based on the principle that addenda published after a certain date can be adopted if they are relevant and applicable to the project's scope. This means that if the changes introduced in the addenda have a direct impact on the work being undertaken or can improve the project's adherence to LEED standards, the project team can opt to implement them.

For instance, if an addendum introduces new strategies or requirements that could improve energy efficiency, materials use, or indoor air quality, and these aspects are integral to the existing project plans or goals, adopting these changes can be beneficial. This allows the project to stay current with the most up-to-date practices and innovations in sustainability, aligning with the overall objectives of the LEED certification process.

In contrast, choices that imply conditions such as the completion of the review process, personal evaluation of enhancements, or expedited processing may not necessarily reflect the foundational reason for adopting these updates, which revolves around their relevance to the project's scope.
