Although it has not been mentioned on LEEDUser before, there are now a number of online tools to assist the design and construction community with their LEED projects. Most importantly, one can work offline in these programs and then synch with LEED Online to upload all of the needed information. These LEED Automation Partners (http://new.usgbc.name/apps/) have done this, in part, to create a better interface and workflow for projects seeking LEED certification. The companies that have been working on this the longest are LoraxPro, Greengrade and GreenWizard (Disclaimer: I work with GreenWizard). All of these platforms support the usual day to day activities of having to work with LEED Online, except allowing users to work in an environment that is quicker, more efficient, and less prone to bugs. In addition, GreenWizard has the added benefit of being a Product Management Workflow, so in addition to allowing teams to work offline, it has a workflow and materials database oriented around LEED to make product discovery, modeling, documentation, and submission of the products/projects that much easier. I highly encourage the reader's here to research these solutions as these tools are specifically designed to reduce the 'quirks, bugs, and hiccups associated with LEED Online'.
