Hi, I'm currently working on a LEED CS office building, and can't find a clear answer to my question in the LEED referential, user's guidance or standard: Do I need to update the energy modelling simulation for the construction review (update of inputs with the suppliers data)? Or are the EAp2 and EAc1 credits only considered during design stage? Thanks! Juliette

When submitting your construction credits you are required to indicate that nothing changed during construction to affect each of the design credits. If anything of significance changed during construction that would affect your energy modeling results you are supposed to update it for the construction submission. As a result we often defer the EAp2/EAc1 submission until the construction review phase.
