PIf4 says: Note: Project titles in portfolio manager must be the same as the LEED registered project name. Projects must also include their LEED project identification number in the notes portion of each Portfolio Manager registered property. The notes section is located on the "General Facility Information" page.
However, we are working on a publicly funded university that is considered a 'state' building. The state is currently benchmarking all of their facilities in Portfolio Manager. However, the consultant doing the benchmarking is required to label these in a very specific manner per their contract with the state. As you can see from the above text, USGBC requires a separate naming function. The facility will be benchmarked, but will we not get the credit because we couldn't name the facility according to the USGBC requirements? Any ideas on this?

Took me a while to track down the answer.
Within the general facility information section of Portfolio Manager there is a box labeled “Unique Building Identifier”. This is were projects should enter their LEED project # and name within the general facility information section if they cannot name the project identical to the project name submitted for LEED.
