Our project was registered a couple of years ago, we have passed precertification (CS), and we have passed Design phase. In December we will submit Construction phase for review since the project is coming to an end.
My question – last year some time, the owners changed the project name (regardless of LEED). In all other aspects of the build and for marketing purposes the name has changed. Is there any way that we can change the name in LEED as well? All old submitted documents will have the old name, but it would be nice if we could have the new name here too as we come to an end and are hopefully platinum certified.

Maria, I think if you contact GBCI via their website they'll certainly help with this.

Yep you can't do it, GBCI has to do it.

Thanks guys! So that is positive news for me then! I didn’t know that it was possible at all. I’m not in a hurry so contacting GBCI is not a problem.
Will there be a problem that the documents have the old name? Or will reviewers see that the project used to have another name?

To avoid any confusion you could wait until after the construction review phase and have the name changed right before you accept the certification.
If you change the name now there might be some reviewer confusion but I am sure it could be dealt with.

The GBCI tracks projects by the ID number not the name. I've had project name changes done several times without any issues.
