Campus Site Lignting Calcs - again, sorry

We submitted (on Jan 23, 2014) the question below. Unfortunately, since then my email has crashed and I have lost the response. Is there any way this can be recovered? Much Thanks!! "We have a campus application for our 3 mixed-use buildings. We are now on our final review and need to modify our submittal. We submitted the site lighting calculations not taking advantage of the master site like we did on other credits. The engineer in charge submitted the site data as if 2 of the projects supplied all the electricity for the site lighting. In other words, that each of the two projects supplied roughly 50% each of the lighting power when actually they should be categorized as supplying roughly 33% each. He said that this was done because ASHRAE 90.1 template wants to show where the power feed comes from rather than sharing the provided energy related to the master site. The infrastructure for the lighting emanates from these two buildings as the third building (still within the boundary of the master site) is located more remotely and does not feed the lighting. Do you see any problem with changing the submittal to show that we divide the power more equitably for the three projects? We expect to write a detailed narrative explaining the changes. Thank you in advance for your help."
