LEED online requests the following: Provide date-stamped photos showing the measures taken, including any corrective action, to effectively implement the ESC plan. Include at least 3 photos from at least 3 inspections equally spaced over the site work period. Inspections must occur monthly, at a minimum.
Does the last sentence mean that you need date stamped photos once per month over the entire construction period?

It may become clear when comparing what is states when you check "builder or contractor declaration", which then brings up the following statements:
..................................
Upload SSp1-2. Provide a summary, sample log, checklist, inspection
report, or similar document that demonstrate periodic inspection of the
implemented measures. This documentation must include:
· Sample dates
· Inspection frequency (at least monthly, year-round)
· At least 3 inspections equally spaced over the site work period
· Descriptions of any corrective action taken.
........................
It seems to be adding "monthly" to the "site work period" only.

We are not checking "builder or contractor declaration", we are checking "The project team provides date-stamped photos which show the
implemented measures and any corrective action that was taken."
I was wondering if anyone has run into GBCI reviewers requesting monthly date stamped photos using this option, or what the frequency of the photos should be. Thanks for any input.

Michael,This really depends on the length of construction, that's why there are no specific requirments for length of time between photos. I suggest evenly spacing them throughout construction (start, middle, end), so you end up with at least 3 different dates with photos.

We solved the issue of date stamping photos for ESC and IAQ MP where our new camera did not offer the option of digital date stamping for JPEGs by an easy to use software program called Gena PhotoStamper that date stamps photos and photo batches.
