Dear Tristan,
We are building a three story multi family structure, that we are working wiht a LEED provider, Davis Energy Group to achieve a PLeLEED Platinum rating. We need to send letters out to suppliers to alert them to our need for recycled, sustainably produced, products in construction. Can you direct me (a member of LEED user) to a source for some sample letters to get us started? Thanks!
Don

Don, yes, with the caveat that LEEDuser doesn't currently offer resources tailored to LEED for Homes, so the letters we have may need to be modified for your purposes. You can find resources like this under the NC v2009 IEQc4.1 Documentation Toolkit, to name one location.

In a single family home that typically does not have specifications other than notes on the drawings, I can understand the need for 'letters' to suppliers. But in a multi-story, multi-family project that has full specifications that clearly define the sustainable requirements in Division 01 and also requires documentation of environmental information along with product data, shop drawings, etc. within the individual technical Sections, the required data for sustainable calculations is gathered via the submittal process.
