Hello,
Is it possible to submit the EAc3 form with the other ones for the Design Review Phase and Construction Review Phase? Or do I have to wait 8-10 months after the building is built to submit it?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I've asked this question to GBCI, and their response is here:
''Yes, you can receive the LEED certification without waiting for the 8-10 months to pass. As noted in the wording of the Requirements for EAc3, "Implement, or have a contract in place to implement, the following...[emphasis added]" Thus, as long as you have addressed all the requirements that can be completed prior to submittal, you can simply confirm that there is a contract in place to address other (future) elements of the requirements of EAc3. Here is how it is addressed in the EAc3 form, with a checkbox/signatory statement confirming the following:
"The CxA was / will be involved in reviewing the operation of the project building with operations and maintenance (O&M) staff and occupants within 10 months after substantial completion. A plan for resolving outstanding commissioning-related issues was/will be included." ''
I hope this helps.

Yes, fortunately, as with the comfort survey in LEED-NC, we don't have to wait for these things to be done to get our certifications!
