Hello to all,

I have following questions concerning the leed online platform.

At the leed online platform there is a button to choose between SI or IP unit system. Does this only concern the requested input of the project’s gross floor area? Does this system selection affect something else?
About the requested gross r area: If I have one building, then this concerns the total gross area of this building? The unconditioned spaces are included, right?
What if, the project’s area changes after the registration, is there any restriction? Can I change this number any time?
Are there any alternative way of payment (of the registration fee) except credit card and check? Ιs there the possibility of bank deposit?

Thank you

Yes, this will affect all values in the submittal - so not only feet vs meters, but also gallons vs liters in the water calculations, etc.
Yes, the gross area is representative of just the gross area of the project building. Unconditioned spaces should be included for the most part, but certain spaces, such as connected parking structures should not be.
Yes, this value can be edited.
I'm not sure on this one. I would contact USGBC/GBCI to ask.

I'm not sure about GBCI specifically, but here is the USGBC information about wire transfer: https://www.usgbc.org/help/may-i-pay-wire-transfer

4. Select Check at payment time - there are instructions for paying by wire transfer.
