In the Reference Guide on page 254 in Table 1. it's written that "Purchases of of ongoing consumables during the performance period must represent at least 5% (by cost) of documented or anticipated annual total ongoing consumables purchases". Is it necesarry to estimate the cost of annual ongoing purchases? I checked the LEEDonline form and there is no place to input this data.

Dear Agata,
There is no requirement in this credit to estimate the cost of annual ongoing purchases. I believe the note on page 254 in Table 1 is to ensure that projects pick a performance period that is representative of at least 5% of the purchases of ongoing consumables for the year rather than choosing a performance period where no purchases would be made. Do not worry too much about meeting the 5% threshold because the project will not be flagged for this issue in a review if they have sufficient, representative ongoing purchasing data during the performance period.
Hope this helps!
