Hi!
I have been looking for the ACP forms but have not been able to find them. Based on the ACP Documentation Guidance and information provided in posts below, they should be in the Credit Resources section in LEED Online but they are not there. Could anyone please tell me where I could find them? Thank you!

Hi Johanna,
With the launch of the Global Alternative Compliance Paths last July, the ACP forms were replaced with options in the LEED Online forms for identifying that the project is using an ACP. You do not have to fill out a separate form when submitting with an ACP.
Additional resources for the ACPs can be found at http://www.usgbc.org/resources?title=Global%20ACP.
I hope this helps, please let us know if you have further questions.

Hi Sean!!
Thank´s for your response.
I understand this is applicable to the latest form version in LEED Online. What if I haven´t got the latest form, is there any other way to have access to the ACP forms?
Or, would I have to update LEED Online forms?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Johanna,
I would recommend updating your forms to the newest version since there will likely be corrections for other issues as well. This is the best way to capture the requirements of the ACPs in your documentation. Once the new forms were released, the ACP forms were removed from LEED Online.
However, if you have already made significant progress in the LEED Online forms you are currently using, you can use these forms and download the new LEED online forms to use as supplemental documentation for the ACPs. To do this, you will need to attach the new form as part of your supplemental documentation and ensure that you have identified how you have met the ACP requirements.
Thanks,
Sean

That´s a good idea Sean.
It will work for sure in most cases. But I´ve just checked the newest forms available. For example, SSc4.4, the latest form (v04) does not include ACP documentation. Any thoughts on where I could find the excel resources for documenting ACP?
Many many thanks. :)

Hi Johanna,
When the Global ACPs were released in July 2012, they replaced the "ACPs for Projects Outside the U.S." The ACP for SSc4.4 was actually removed when this took place. To make sure you are using the most accurate and up-to-date ACPs, I would be sure to explore the resources available at this link: http://www.usgbc.org/resources?title=Global%20ACP. One resource that may be particularly helpful is the table identifying which credits have global ACPs in all applicable rating systems.
Thanks!
