Is it acceptable to submit design prerequisite credits during the construction review phase?
Based on all the information that I have read, this is acceptable to add in new design credits during the construction review, but want to be sure that there isn't any caveat when it comes to the prerequisite credits.
We have already submitted for our preliminary design review. We did not include documentation for the EQ P.2 as we expected to provide photographic documentation of a no smoking sign that will be installed.
However, I am starting to question my decision of deferring this credit submission to construction and wish to confirm that this is acceptable to wait.
Thanks

On 9/26/14 I lost the ability to view credit tempolate forms in LOL v3. Three weeks and 163 phone minutes later, the final verdict from GBCI is to buy a new computer. Wait, what?
After trying to revert back to older versions of Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader, the problem still persists. The IT team claims that Windows Vista is to blame: It's too buggy and therefore not being supported by newer browsers or Adobe products.
Funny, everything worked fine for me until the last round of GBCI's system maintenance. Are there other Vista users out there that have come across this problem? Have you figured out a different work-around?
(Please, don't reply with compatibility view. Been there, done that)

I am working on a project that is currently in the Construction Preliminary Review Phase. We are realizing that Gold Certification is a reality now. Is it possible to add two new credits that haven't been reviewed yet? If so, what is the process for this?

Thanks.

At the time when we were submitting our design submittal, the elementary school project was only going to be able to get 7% of its energy offseted with renewables. Since then, we have got PV panels that can offset all 100% of the energy used by the building.
We would like to reapply for EAc2 so that we get all 7 points and not just 1 point that was originally awarded for the project. What would be the process to do this? Does this need to be an appeal?
There are other credits that get affected by this change, like the EAc1 (Optimize energy performance) and the SSc7.2 (Heat island affect - roof). Will we need to re-apply for those too as they were already awarded to us. Do we have to reapply for these and will these have to be done through an appeal as well?
We would also like to get an exemplary point for EAc2 as we are doing much more than the max 13% that the credit awards for energy offsets. My understanding would be that if we do not apply for EAc2 to change it from 7-13%, we wont be able to apply for the exemplary credit. Is this correct? Thank you!

I am resubmitting a credit in response to LEED comments from the intial submission. The attachment file has been updated. Should the original attachment be retained as reference of the original submission? or should it be removed to avoid any potential confusion?

Hi, I am working on a LEED for Healthcare project (LEED HC v2009). At the moment I am filling out the scorecards. I am bit confused about calculating number of pick hour transients. Does it mean number of transients (patients, relatives, visitors etc.) present in the hospital building in a particular hour within the pick hour period. Or, it is the number of transients present at a particular point of time within that pick hour period and it is not necessarily that they have to be in the building for at least one hour. Similarly, will the patients staying in the hospitals from 1 to 3 days be considered as transients? I guess the information on transient numbers would be an estimate only and may not be so accurate. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sunanda

Our project has just received the Design Phase Review feedback from USGBC and we are now in the process of addressing the issues raised with some of the credits. In some circumstances I would like to add narrative to clarify what has been done to address the USGBC Design Phase review requirements for some of the credits.

At present I am clicking the "Special Circumstances" tab to bring up a box in which I can add the narrative/clarifications. Is this acceptable to the USGBC? I appreciate that is isn't really the intended use of this tab, however I can't find anywhere else suitable to add a narrative. In some of the USGBC Design Phase Review comments they specifically state that a narrative should be provided...

Is LEED final review typically late? The anticipated date of return was 10 days ago. We're getting a little nervous. We did have a clarification, but that was returned in a timely manner. Is this typical lately? Our Preliminary review was 6 days late as well.

Can we appeal multiple times for different credits? If so, are there time limits between the appeals?

I ask because we have different paths we've routed to achieve our end goal. We're not sure if it'd be advantageous to appeal all the credits at once. Or do we appeal the "lower hanging" credits first and see if we achieve our goal with one shot.

Thanks for any advice. Apologies if this has already been covered.

HI there, need help for the new leedonline platform.
Just received mid-review clarification request by reviewer and we were asked to view the details and respond with your clarification on the Clarifications tab in LEED Online.

However, unlike the old leedonline platform, we can't find the clarifications tab in the new LEEDonline platform.

can someone please help.

thank you!
