I'm finalizing my first LEED project, and I've got a question on putting in material (FSC in particular) values into the LEED Online form. We purchased a large quantity of FSC lumber in various dimensions from the same vendor, all with the same CoC number, but on many different days. I see that I'll have to upload every receipt which includes new wood, however, when putting values into the LEED Online form, is it acceptable to list all FSC studs with an identical CoC number in a single row? For instance, report $1200/unit for 1 unit, rather than 30 individual rows of $10/unit for 4 units of a specific dimension and specific lumber run? It seems like this would save them some time in assessment, but I get the impression that's not necessarily appreciated. Thanks!

HI Max - What your proposing certainly seems reasonable, as long as you are uploading all of the corresponding invoices in a organized way. You might want to bundle the invoices together (or co-locate them) in a PDF when you upload. You might also consider adding a "tally" sheet listing each invoice with a dollar sub-total for common COC's and Materials. The sub-totals should match each dollar value line-item listed in the Form. This would make it easy for the reviewer to 'connect-the-dots' between the Form and your PDF. The number of 'common' invoices you have will determine if that's easier than going invoice by invoice in the official form. It's also a way of tracking the wood during construction.
If the Reviewer does want them individually line itemed in the Form, you should get a chance to do that during the first round of GBCI comments after the first submittal is made.
