Table 3: _Cont._All LEED categories have been assessed somehow in the identified studies, as presented in Figure 6. The most common assessed credits are from the Materials and Resources category, addressed in 9 out of 22 publications. The following categories are Energy and Atmosphere (8), Sustainable Sites (7) and Indoor Environmental Quality (6). All the other categories have only been assessed in one publication. In total, the selected articles have assessed 84 different credits and 11 prerequisites from the categories of Sustainable Sites, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Innovation in Design Process, Regional Priority, Water Efficiency and Pilot-Credits in different LEED versions. Regarding LEED v3--the most addressed version--a total of five prerequisites and 33 credits have been assessed, representing 67% of all the scheme items (excluding Pilot Credits). The most commonly used software is Autodesk Revit (19 out of 22) for 3D modulations and API's development, applied in 76% of LEED identified publications. Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA) is the second most recorded software with 24% (used in 6 out of 22), followed by Dynamo (Autodesk, Inc., San Rafael, CA, USA) with 16% (4 out of 22). IES-VE, LEED Sustainable Sites and Google Maps (Google LCC, Mountain View, CA, USA) are the following, all with 12% (used in 4 out of 22). A total of 25 different software was used. Figure 7 presents the mentioned statistics. Figure 5: Addressed LEED versions. Figure 6: Addressed LEED categories.
