Roof Plan Submittal

It may be acceptable to mark up or alter the drawings, as long as you a) have permission from the architect as well as the client for the specific use or changes, and b) make it clear which information is yours. We've had LEED reviewers who suggested we hide or turn off unnecessary information in the drawings or make it very obvious where the relevant LEED info was. Their priority is more for efficient review and are less concerned with format formalities. Anecdotally, I'd say that LEED submissions need to "clear, complete, and credible," (to coin a phrase) but there are no legal or policy guidelines for format, title blocks, or attribution. Many architects will remove their stamp from the title block of drawings submitted for LEED and provide a disclaimer "For LEED Documentation - Not Intended for Construction" to make it clear that these are not Construction Documents, which become part of a legal contract between the general contractor and owner. You might consider adding a key note with date and LEED purpose to the title block or notes area and then use revision clouds, color circles, or highlighting, etc to make the LEED specific information on the drawings more obvious. With permission, you could also use the original drawings as "backgrounds" for your own photoshoped sheet, and make your markup and highlighting clearly your own.
