I am looking for a clarification on who qualifies for the USGBC Member Fee for a registered project - does the project owner need to be a USGBC member or is it the LEED Administrator who registers the project? I have not been able to find specific documentation that defines who needs to be the the USGBC member to qualify for the USGBC Member registration fee.

In my experience the project administrator, the person or company who registers the project, needs to be a member of USGBC in order to recieve the discount.

Thank you Emily - that is what I had thought, just wanted to confirm it as I am updating projected LEED costs for an upcoming LEED project.

Our office has taken over a project that was originally registered by another firm that was not a USGBC member. If we are members (which we are) can we get the USGBC member pricing for the design and construciton reviews? Or did the project need to be registered initially with a membership?
Do you know how to associate a project with our current membership? Or will GBCI automatically know that we should get the reduced rates when submitting since our account is associated with our membership?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

Breana, I would assume you could get the member discount for the review. I would contact GBCI for help with this. I am not sure they would automatically konw. Or perhaps when you go to pay it will become apparent one way or the other.
