We are in between preliminary and final design review, and are thinking of pursuing an I&D credit for Green Building Education. It is not clear to us from reviewing the information if it is a design credit or construction credit? Or can we submit for it during either review phase?
Thank you.

We have found it works better for us to submit as a construction credit, as there will be more data available - percentage of recycled material, as an example - at that stage.
Nonetheless, start preparing for it at the design stage, especially if you plan to install signage.

IDc1 is uniquely labeled as either design or construction, and depending on the selected innovation strategy, will usually fit better into one area than the other. I agree with Deborah that GBE (assuming you are doing 2 of the following: tour, signage, and/or case study) fits best into the construction submittal, since while the documentation requirements are fairly loose for ID credits, it is advisable to include signage photos, a draft of the case study, and/or a tour outline so that the certification reviewer can see that the measures address the project comprehensively.

Hi all.
Rick, did you submit this ID for final design review? Did you have any news about it? I want to submit this strategy also as an ID for a few projects and until now there is no certainty about if it's a design or construction credit.

This is an official answer for this matter from the GBCI:
"Thank you for contacting GBCI. Your project team can submit the education program ID credit in either the Design or Construction review. It shouldn't make a different to the review team."
Hope this help you all.
