The owner of a recently finished retail project wants to certify the building under LEED D+C. The construction finished a couple of days ago and the tenants will be moving in soon. I’m now wondering if it is possible to use the Retail or CI system for this project instead of EBOM? I understand that D+C is not the most optimal rating system for this project and that it might be hard to collect all the required documents.
Thanks,
Ville

I think there is a time limit written somewhere about submitting a project after occupancy. But a couple days is well under that limit, if it's out there. If you can document it, you can still submit it under a D&C system. But check that you can document prereqs like EAp1, SSp1, EAp2, etc.

You have 2 years post substantial completion of project to submit for review, refer to latest LEED Certification Policy Manual.
