I have a technical question about LEED Online and inputting information into the Adobe Form for IEQp1. The issue I am having is the amount of time required to document a building that has several zones.
Currently, the only way I know how to document IEQp1 is to actively enter each zone, line by line online. However, each time I input a value, the whole form pauses and I believe, re-calculates every value in the table. This pause greatly slows the process of inputting information and for buildings with well over 40 zones can increase our documentation time by several hours.
Has anyone run into this issue with online documentation and found a better method? Are there ways to download and then upload adobe templates with LEED Online v3? Or any other process that I might try? Thanks.

Shannon, see response from Kimberly below. I recommend using a spreadsheet approach for projects with more than 25 zones. Make sure that you have all of the data from the LEED template in your spreadsheet, at minimum. It can be helpful to also submit the formal ASHRAE developed 62 calculation spreadsheet as a separate check of compliance.
