We have a project for which we did a design phase submittal- we are now nearly completion on our construction phase submittal. We are close to the number of points we want, but if we are unable to obtain all of the points we want after we receive comments on the construction phase submittal, can we, in our very last submittal addressing all of the construction phase comments then submit an additional credit? I realize that there would be no opportunity for feedback from USGBC (thumbs up or down), but I wanted to confirm that this is in fact doable?

Yes, it should be possible, but as you note you don't have a chance to respond to any review comments, so male sure what you submit is "audit-proof."

I have a somewhat similar question. My team has already submitted its Design Submittal and gotten our final review back. We didn't attempt a certain credit nor did we defer that certain Design Submittal credit during the Design Submittal process. Now I would like to open up that Design Submittal credit for two reviews in the Construction Submittal phase. Is that OK? LEED Online seems to be letting me do it but I just wanted to make sure.
Thanks!

You should defer the design credits to the construction phase by un-checking them when you resubmit your design final review, that way their second round of review is with the construction credits.

I actually received my answer from a GBCI representative:
Assuming the credit was never reviewed, a design credit can be submitted in the construction review with no problems, fees, etc. However, if the credit was reviewed twice in the design review (received review comments), and was denied, it would need to be appealed. (with standard appeal fees applying).
