About MPR#6 in PIf1

Hello, I have a question about filling PIf1 out in leedonline, this is about complying with all the MPRs. Our building will use energy and water meters to report our data to USGBC. However, in PIf1, there is a check box at the end that says: ''The project team is claiming an exemption from Minimum Program Requirement 6: Must Commit to Sharing Whole-Building Energy and Water Usage Data''. The problem is that it is necessary to mark this check (otherwise I don't get the compliance in the form); so, for me this is kind of contradictory because at MPR6 I commit to sharing my energy and water data but with this check I am saying the opposite. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ronald, as counterintuitive as it is in this context, checking that box is a legitimate way to complete this form and demonstrate MPR6 "compliance," if you have a valid exemption.

Ronald, double check to make sure you have checked all required the boxes, and provided all Owner signatures. Sometimes, if the form doesn't have the Owner signature under MRP 6, it will highlight that box at the end when you push the "check compliance" button, assuming you have a valid exemption to not providing the Owner signature. Perhaps that's the issue? Otherwise, you might have a corrupted form. You will have to contact USGBC to have them replace it wih a newer version.

Thanks EH, actually that was the case. I uploaded the 'Offline Owner Signature' document and I got the compliance.
