During the process of our split submission information was submitted to GBCI that affected both a prerequisite as well as a credit we were pursuing. The result of the Design Preliminary Submission was that both the prerequisite and associated credit came back as Pending with comments outlining the additional work to be done to achieve both. The result of the Design Final Submission was that the prerequisite came back as Awarded and the credit was listed as Denied. For a number of reasons the Appeals process was never utilized to address the denied credit.

Fast forward a year and I have inherited the LEED submission and am trying to determine what action can be taken to address this denied credit. It seems that in the Final Design Submission criteria in the energy model that was pertinent to both the prerequisite and credit was calculated differently between the two. The project has been built as it was designed and so there are no design changes to warrant resubmission, but it is the manner in which the data was reported that seems to have caused the discrepancy.

My question is that since both the credit and prerequisite were reviewed 2x in the Design Applications and the time period to Appeal has long since passed, am I able to resubmit for the denied credit (and possibly the awarded prerequisite) with the Construction Preliminary Application? If the window for an Appeal between the Design and Construction Submissions has passed do I have any additional opportunity to earn that credit?
