If the HVAC system wasn't running during construction of a new building, what is the requirement for documentation?
We have dated checklists documenting that the HVAC system wasn't running and that the ductwork on site was sealed along with photos.
Is that documentation sufficient?
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

You've met the duct credit requirement if you install MERV 13 filters prior to occupancy. I believe you need a cut sheet, but double check the LEED Online form.

Juanita,
You simply select on the online template "Permanently installed air handling units were NOT operated during construction." Done. No need to provide any documentation. By the way, the photos that would be helpful for this credit would be photos that show absorptive material being protected from moisture.
