I have a project adminnstration question or two:
On page 1 of 3 of the credit template the initials of the Contractor are requred acknowleging that System Manual or O&M Manual has been provided to owner. Two questions:
1. Doesn't the acknowledgement of the Owner has recieved an O&M Manual make this a Construction Credit and not a Design Credit?
2. Practically speaking, how do you make the template available for the contractor to initial? Do you assign/share EQ7.1 responsibility with the Contractor?

We just ran into this same issue! In the comments on this site for LEED NC 2009 - EQc7.1 there is some discussion about this, and one comments imlplies that the O&M manual signatory was removed, but that does not appear to be the case for your project or ours. We are sending a feedback inquiry through LEED online to try to find out what to do. Not only is it inappropriate to assign the contractor to inital a design phase credit, but nowhere in the reference guide that I can find does it say that this credit will require documenting a systems/O&M manual. I hate being blindsided by something on the template that is not mentioned in the credit requirements!

Have you guys checked that your LEED Online forms are as up to date as possible? No BETA marking on the bottom? They don't get updated automatically....
