Hi, Because of my project's size (very large) and its location (international), I will likely need to submit alternative documentation on several credits. If possible, I'd like to do it in a manner consistent with what has worked previously for project teams and reviewers. Is there a resource available to see how successful ND pilot projects that were either large or international responded to various requirements in their submittals? Thanks, Daniel

Daniel, I haven't heard of such a resource, and I assume that if one existed, that Meghan, Eliot, or someone else would have answered in the affirmative by now. If you find anything particularly useful, please let us know.

Hi, Daniel. USGBC is working on a short guidance document for large projects, to ease the submission process a bit. We should be posting that on our webpage soon. If there are other representatives of large projects on these forums, they might also have specific advice on strategies they used to achieve certification. I know it's a topic of interest for a sizable number of projects, and I'll post here if we gather any further resources.
