Regarding claiming hours for working on a LEED registered project, I've seen that "Work on projects registered for LEED... certification count for 1 rating system-specific CE hour per credit"; however I haven't been able to find anything that confirms:

1) if more than one person can claim 1 CE hour each for the same credit; and,

2) how much time you need to spend working on the credit to claim the 1 CE hour (if I do 95% of the work for a credit submittal but I ask an associate to assist with 5% of the work, can my associate also claim for 1 CE hour)?

Thanks and best regards, Scott

Hi Scott - I don't think there are any stated restrictions on whether more than one person can claim 1 CE hour against the same credit. To me it makes sense that more than 1 person might work on a credit, particularly a more complex one. I also don't believe there's any guideline or requirement for how much time you need to spend in order to claim 1 CE hour. However, in your example, I'd say it probably makes sense for just you to claim the hour.
