We are documenting 4 points for WEc1 Water Efficient Landscaping in the completed LEED online form (compliance button in form even notes 4 pts) for a LEED 2009 NC project. However, when going back to scorecard on LEED online, it is only tracking 2 out of the 4 points. Anyone know why there is a discrepancy? Is it a technical issue that others have run into? Do you think this will affect our review? Thanks.

Did you make sure that you attempted the correct threshold for the credit? For these multiple-threshold credits, you need to indicate which threshold you're attempting via the Credit Information Tab to have the Scorecard Tab display properly. For the multiple threshold credits, I believe that LOv3 automatically selects the lowest threshold unless you update it. The points you see displaying on the Scorecard Tab are linked to that threshold selection - not to what the form is displaying; so if you haven't updated the threshold selection, the attempted points and your totals will be off.
To fix this: when you first open the WEc1 and that initial page opens (before you click the Form/any other buttons), scroll down to the "Thresholds" section. Make sure that you've selected the 4 points option ("No Potable/Irrigation"). In order to update this, the credit must be marked as "In-progress". Once you make that change, make sure to mark the credit as "Complete" to save the attempted threshold. If you're not done with documenting the credit, just then re-mark it as "In-progress" after it goes through the saving process. When you go back to the Scorecard Tab, you should then see 4 of 4 points attempted for WEc1.
Even if you don't update the attempted threshold, that shouldn't affect the reviewer's ability to award all 4 points if you have met the requirements. But it will through off your scorecard totals until the points are actually awarded. So it is probably something you'd like to fix before submitting so that your scorecard tab is accurate for what you are looking to get.

Kristina, Elizabeth- Thank you! That was extremely helpful. We had not submitted our design credits yet for review because of this issue. The scorecard is now showing the 4 points we had documented. Thanks again for your advice.
