In order to operate effectively, can our LEED professional prepare the documentation for credits and prerequisites? For example, our team, developer, architects, and engineers meet and create a verbal plan to handle erosion and sedimentation (SSP1). The LEED AP, who is doing, many project management activities, then prepares the drawings and accompanying narrative and uploads this to the LEED system. During Construction, our LEED profession regularly visits the site and in our case documents that the controls have been implemented through photos, narrative, and a sign-off by the contractor. Is this a valid path to implementation of SSP1? Can we operate similarly for other credits and prerequisites?

Jennifer, every team is different and will find what works for it. With LEED, it's often important to have someone who is championing the LEED documentation piece and making sure stuff gets done—and this person can do a lot.On the negative side of your plan, most successful LEED and green projects report that a key element of success is having everyone committed to the goals and working as teammates. Green should not be delegated to one person. Some credits also require some technical expertise or on-the-spot knowledge and someone without specific know-how wouldn't be able to document them.Does this perspective help?
