When in leedonline, I am directed to download the CI Materials Calculator with a LEEDUser logo (which doesn't make sense) but I have also run across elsewhere BDC Materials & Resource Calculator which has a USGBC logo on it. This second form seems the appropriate form to upload with the credits but now I'm confused as to which I should be filling out and uploading with the credits. Duplicating this information is going to be really annoying, it's an incredible amount of data entry. We are certifying under NC-Retail. Can someone clarify which I should be filling out?

Go to the Credit Information tab for any of the MR credits 3-7. On the right hand side, look for a link for Credit Resources. That should take you to a page where you can download the correct materials calculator.
While you probably won't incur any problems using the LEEDUser calculator, I find it to be a good rule of thumb to use the resources provided directly in LEEDOnline if they are provided. It helps prevent any confusion, and ensure that you're using the correct calculations.

Unfortunately they're both there depending which credit you look at. I made sure to look after writing that post. The LEEDUser document is significantly more detailed but I supposed to be safe I'll use the document with the USGBC logo. Thank you for your response.
