Hello Everybody, Two questions: 1- a project registered in 2012 can use the new materials and resources calculator? 2- What happens with the cutsheets required in previous versions,? I would appreciate any help on this one. Thanks.

Hi Guillermo - I don't think it matters which version you use. If you have already started using the older version and it's easier to continue using it, I would not bother switching over. Good question about the documentation -- it is odd that they no longer ask for it. However, this does match the new LEED Online Form v5, which no longer appears to request the former 20%-by-cost documentation upload. I can't believe the Reviewers would not ask for anything. If you are using the new forms and/or calculator, probably a good bet to collect all the documentation anyway and have it handy in case they ask.

Check out the January and June 2016 updates on the LEEDuser forum - LEED Online Status Updates - http://www.leeduser.com/strategy/leed-online-status-updates. Among other things, those posts discuss the changes to the MR and IEQ documentation uploads that USGBC included as part of the January 2016 LEED Online Upgrade and v06 forms for LEED 2009 projects. These USGBC articles are additional references - http://www.usgbc.org/articles/new-forms-online-leed-2009-and-leed-v4-projects and http://www.usgbc.org/articles/leed-online-2016-updates.
