The July 2023 quarterly TRUE rating system and guidance addenda is now available. To view the changes, visit the addenda table and search for 7/1/2023.

This release includes an update to the text of two different credits within the TRUE rating system and one section in the Diversion Data Additional Guidance to increase the clarity of what submittal documentation is required. Key points to look out for include

  • Updates to the text in the Diversion Data Additional Guidance to clarify when and how a representative sample may be used in instances where a physical audit of all material generated on-site is not feasible.
  • Updates to the submittal documentation for credits to increase the clarity of what information is being requested to demonstrate credit achievement.

What are addenda?

Addenda are official updates that incorporate changes and improvements to the TRUE rating system and other published guidance documents to help clarify, correct, interpret or provide alternative language. Addenda should be referred to in conjunction with the TRUE rating system and other published guidance documents.

With future versions of the rating system, addenda will be incorporated into that update. Addenda are designed to be a midway step to an official version update to address needed changes to the rating system.
