Where is the form for the LPE (Licensed Professional Exemption) to fill out and submit for NC 2009? It seems like the only one I can find is for OM 2009.
Also, what is the more typical path of compliance? LPE or Full Documentation Path? Seems like it may be simpler to just fill out the short pressurization calc and upload the self-closing door documentation than risk disciplinary action against your license if there is an error in the form. I'm sure it's fine either way, but I don't like the wording of the language for the LPE. There should be some kind of requirement of willful intent or neglect for disciplinary action from the board, rather than the wording "incomplete or incorrect".

This is difficult to find and has changed. When logged in to LOL, click on the drop down arrow to the right of your name and click on Credentials. You can add or edit your professional licenses.
Once you do that, there should be a drop down on any credit form that you are in where you can choose your name for LPE.
I'm a fan of LPE whenever you can use it, because it is usually less work, but you're right, you need to use your professional judgment. However, a lot of LEED consultants prefer the full pathway so they have documentation that the proper work was actually done.

As a LEED consultant, I prefer to see the full pathway, because, as Michelle says, that way I know whether the proper work was actually done. In my experience, it often takes more than one try (before we submit to GBCI).
