We are about to submit our first "Design Preliminary Review" for our LEED Gold project. All design credit templates have been filled out and signed. Do you have any recommendation(s) for checking on any specific item to make sure that we are not missing anything ? Any feedback or recommendation(s) based on your previous experience would be a great help. I printed out and distributed the " LEED Project Submittal Tips " to all disciplines for their review and check and hopefully everything has been picked up. Can I include IEQ c8.1 to my design package but mark the option 3.Measurement ? How am I going to indicate that we are achieving this credit even though measurements need to be taken during construction or prior to occupancy ? Thanks

If you are performing a post-design (or post-construction) component to any of your design credits (e.g. IEQc8.1 - measurement), the credit submission should be held back until the Construction Preliminary Review. Note that project teams are free to withhold design phase credits until the construction phase submission at their discretion, or in this case, so that post-design aspects (like actual daylight measurements) can be incorporated.

Check for consistency. Ensure that information provided in project documents and other credits match across the board.. It will be called out if its not. Highlight the essential items so that the reviewer can find what is needed quickly while reviewing. Also, only provide what is needed. If your reviewer has to search through a bunch of stuff looking for what is required, well they might find some stuff that could be questions. Ensure all uploaded documentation opens. Just because you can see the file does not mean that it can be opened. Ensure it is in the correct format. Defer 8.1 and any other design credit that is not complete.
