Hello!

In option 2, Design Charrette, the requirement is to conduct at least one full day workshop (or two half days) but does not specified how many hours? Could be 3 half days workshop (like 2.5 hours each)?

Thank you,

I've been told that a minimum of eight hours are required, but I don't recall if three sessions that add up to eight hours has been accepted. You would have a stronger case if you can show that most of the same people attended all three sessions, and that there was a particular benefit from dividing up the sessions, such as additional research or analysis being done between sessions that provided more in-depth results.

Hi David, Once again, thank you for your reply! In our case it will be the same people attended for the all sessions. Due to this covid situation we'll not be able to conduct this workshops presentially, and 4 hour in an online meeting is not productive. Moreover, we believe that dividing up the sessions we'll have more time to do additional research and to assimilate all the information, most of the team are very new in LEED, I'm the only one that have experience with LEED projects. Thanks again!
