Which statement is true about Final Review outcomes?

• A. The project may appeal the final decision, and multiple appeals are allowed.
• B. After Final Review, a final rating is issued regardless of any new information.
• C. The project cannot reapply for LEED certification if it is denied.
• D. A plaque is awarded automatically after Final Review.

Answer: (C)

Final Review determines whether the submitted project meets LEED requirements and yields the certification decision for that specific submission. If the project is denied, certification cannot be pursued again for the same project; to aim for LEED certification in the future, a new project must be registered and go through the process anew, with fresh documentation and possibly different credits or strategies. This keeps each submission independent and ensures that a new certification attempt starts from a clean slate rather than retrofitting the old one.

The other statements don’t fit how Final Review outcomes are handled: there isn’t an automatic plaque awarded, and the process isn’t described as allowing unlimited appeals within the same submission.
