Dear all,
I have a project which is in construction preliminary submittal phase now. some changes are suggested during construction which will affect credits that have been already approved and awarded, but will not affect the points within these credits.
For example decreasing roof vegetation area will change the roof layout drawing, but will keep the awarded point as we will be still within the compliant area threshold.
My question is that; will this change force us to make an appeal during "construction appeal phase", or not?

You are required to update your documentation of the design credits if anything changed that would affect them during construction. You should do this as part of your construction preliminary submission. You do not need to appeal anything and these credits will get a third review for no additional charge. It is not up to you to determine credit compliance, only the reviewer can do so.

Thanks Marcus,
You mean by "update your documentation of the design credits" that I can update the uploads (documents), and the values on the credit form as well?
