Performance Period Question for PV, SREC and credis added at end

I have a similar question as Summer Gorder. We are at the cusp of Gold certificaion. If we will be 1-2 credit short after GBCI review PV isnatllation can be justified at the buillding. Would this be accepted? The LEED Certification Policy Manual offers the project team two more opportunities to add new credits and prerequisites after the initial submittal. The first opportunity is when the project team submits the response to the GBCI preliminary review and the second one is as an appeal after the final GBCI “awarded” and “denied” ruling. Does the performance period for the new credit need to follow the project performance period and overlap with credits submitted 85 or 115 days prior in the initial application package? Are they flexibilities with the performance period for credits added to the project through an appeal process?
