I am working on a project that underwent a split review. We have received and accepted our final design review submission. A short while after this, the owner decided that they would like to potentially add additional design credits that were never submitted before. Now that this has come up, I have a few questions:
1.) Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
2.) Is this possible? If so, how is it handled? Is it viewed like an appeal and a fee is applied/required or since it is a previously unsubmitted credit, can it go in with the construction credits no issue?
3.) If submitted, does it reopen all previously submitted design credits for another review?
This is a NC 2009 project.
Thanks

You can submit the additional design credits with the construction preliminary review. No problem, no extra fee.
All previously submitted design credits are always subject to re-review if some new evidence is presented. Also when you submit the construction review you have to indicate that nothing changed during construction that would affect impact the previously submitted design credits. Note the design credits are anticipated, not earned at this point.

Marcus, On the new format LEED on LIne we have a CS project that has been through two rounds of Design review and an appeal. Since that time all the agreed design credits now show 'awarded', not 'anticipated' . While I have no intention of popping the champagne just yet, (we still have the two rounds of construction review to go)....I'm just wondering if 'awarded' is the new nomenclature on the new format LEED On Line?....Ideas?

Sounds like semantics Barry. I was not trying to use the specific language being used in LEED Online, just conveying the reality of what can happen after the design review. Awarded credits can be unawarded in the construction review process and as far as I know you still need to indicate if anything changed during construction that affected a previously awarded design credit.
I think they have been using the term awarded in LEED 2009. Anticipated was used under LEED v2 which is probably the more accurate term. When you have been around as long as we have, the terms just all run together!
