I am working on one EB project and it needs of more points to achieve a desired rating. I just received the final review comments and I am considering to pursue IEQc3.2 (Custodial Effectiveness Assessment) and EAc4 (Green Power) during appeal. Both credits require that requirements should be conducted during performance period.
Do you think the credits I will pursue during appeal will be ok to be performed after the performance period?
thank you

My understanding is that for EAc4 this is an unequivocal yes - USGBC & GBCI are quite fine with purchasing RECs retroactively for this purpose. EQc3.2 I am less certain of - I can imagine good arguments for and against this, but I would hate to be reliant on that approach for a critical point. Anyone else have more definitive thoughts on EQc3.2 in this instance?

Thank you Dan.
IEQc3.2 and EAc4 were awarded. No question was asked regarding the conducted date.
