I have received my LEED ND Stage 1 review results which contained 2 failed prerequisites. Can I proceed to Stage 2 and correct them there? I'm assuming it is possible as I was given the choice to accept my Stage 1 review results. Can anyone confirm?

Bernard,
I'm assuming that you have just received you preliminary review comments (stage 1). As long as you agree with all comments you have received, then you will accept your preliminary (stage 1) comments. This then allows you make to make the changes to the prerequisites and credits which are pending. Once you have made the changes, you mark complete, and resubmit for your final review.

My experiences are (from NC, CS and CI) that if you were to accept now then you have missed the chance to correct your prerequisites. And design prerequisites cannot be deferred until construction phase, they need to be addressed now. So fix them first: Reopen them, fix comments, close them and then resubmit. Am I understanding your question correctly? And also, you only get two chances to review each credit, never three or four.

For example, NPDp3 relates a lot with the design of the masterplan and this is bound to change from Stage 1 to Stage 2 to Stage 3. Therefore, even if a design prerequisite passes or fails in Stage 1, it is due for changes anyhow in Stage 2 or 3. Most importantly is passing it by the final construction review (Stage 3) correct?
To compare with other rating systems, have projects failed 1 or more prerequisites in design stage but corrected and passed them by construction stage?

What do you mean by stages, are you talking stages in the review process or your project?
Maria, you can defer the final review of a design prerequisite to the construction review. Design prerequisites do not need to be completed in the design phase review.
Each credit or prerequisite gets two reviews. A preliminary and final review. The only reason a credit or prerequisite would get a third review is if it were earned during the design review, but something changed during construction that effected it, you would then select it in the construction review for re evaluation. The only other time you get a third review is if you appeal. As already noted design prerequisites cannot defer the

In LEED ND, submission is in 3 stages as opposed to just design and construction. I am in Stage 1 (conditional approval).
So from what I summarize from you Todd, even if it is very advisable to appeal and settle a failed prerequisite in the early design stage (Stage 1), it can be deferred to the next stage when more detailed design is available. As long as they clear by the construction (final) review. Correct?

Bernard, to answer your question correctly you need to tell me, not using "stages", as to whether you have had your Design Preliminary review or the Design Final review. Based on which one you have just received will allow me to give you the best answer.

Todd, as per page xxiii of the LEED ND Reference Guide, Stage 1 is preliminary design, Stage 2 is final design, and Stage 3 is construction and occupancy. I am at the appeal stage of Stage 1.
So if I were to equate LEED NC and LEED ND, Stage 1 is Design Preliminary Review and Stage 2 is Design Final Review
