From anything I have read, Credit IEc8.1 is a design credit, which would obviously suggest it be submitted with the "design" submittal in a split submittal.
It however offers the option to measure daylight in the space, which for a new or renovated space (like ours) would have to occur after construction is complete, suggesting it will not be done in the normal timeline for submitting the "design" credits.
In short, how is this handled in the current submittal system, assuming we have a split design/construction submittal?
Do you submit the form with the measurement option checked as part of the design submittal package, but add an uploaded narrative that states the credit is 'deferred' to the construction submittal? then resubmit with the construction package?
Or is there a way to designate it rather as part of the "construction" package, and just submit it then?
Another semantic method?
Will the selection of the measurement option hold up the design submittal review in any way? Which then might hold up the construction submittal, since it can't be submitted until the design submittal results have been accepted by the design team?
We are trying to avoid any reasons for delay in our process, thanks for any thoughts.

Under the Timeline Tab, Submittal Review, you will select credits which are complete for review. So to defer EQc8.1, do not select it to be submitted for review for the design review. When time to submit the construction review, select it for submission along with the other credit.
This also explained if you select help in the quick links when in the credit information tab.
