1) Yes, 18 points 2) Are you referring to the Minimum Program Requirement to supply energy and water data to USGBC for 5 yeas? That is related to PI Form 1, which is where you would upload the release in LEED Online. That release form is not the same as the requirement to provide utility data from the performance period for EAp2/EAc1.

Thank you Jenny. For item #2, the PI Form 1 online template just shows a checklist of the items for compliance. However, there is no option for uploading the energy and water data release form in the online template itself. Hoping for your kind assistance again.

True, there is not a place to upload it. This form is supposed to be signed at the end of the certification process, when the owner accepts the LEED certification. I would guess that it's either requested then, or it's not requested at all—just something to keep on file.Anyone else have thoughts?

Hmm, you can always just go to the File Uploads area and park it there, if the form isn't showing you a specific area. I wouldn't sweat it too much, as the reviewers will let you know where to put if they can't find it.

Thank you Jenny and Tristan. I've made a similar inquiry to the USGBC and got a reply recently. Their advise is to select the "special circumstance" portion of the form (PI f1) in order for me to upload the document in that section. I just identified the nature of the form I uploaded in the narrative portion.
