Failed LEED ND Stage 1 Prerequisite

Bernard,
I'm assuming that you have just received you preliminary review comments (stage 1). As long as you agree with all comments you have received, then you will accept your preliminary (stage 1) comments. This then allows you make to make the changes to the prerequisites and credits which are pending. Once you have made the changes, you mark complete, and resubmit for your final review.

My experiences are (from NC, CS and CI) that if you were to accept now then you have missed the chance to correct your prerequisites. And design prerequisites cannot be deferred until construction phase, they need to be addressed now. So fix them first: Reopen them, fix comments, close them and then resubmit. Am I understanding your question correctly? And also, you only get two chances to review each credit, never three or four.

What do you mean by stages, are you talking stages in the review process or your project?

Maria, you can defer the final review of a design prerequisite to the construction review. Design prerequisites do not need to be completed in the design phase review.

Each credit or prerequisite gets two reviews. A preliminary and final review. The only reason a credit or prerequisite would get a third review is if it were earned during the design review, but something changed during construction that effected it, you would then select it in the construction review for re evaluation. The only other time you get a third review is if you appeal. As already noted design prerequisites cannot defer the

Bernard, to answer your question correctly you need to tell me, not using "stages", as to whether you have had your Design Preliminary review or the Design Final review. Based on which one you have just received will allow me to give you the best answer.
