Hello,
I would like to replace the v4 credit with v4.1 equivalent and track the credit status via appropriate calculator. Could you tell me where can I find the right editable document?

v4.1 BD+C is still in BETA at the moment so v4.1 tools and resources are not available yet, as was told to me by USGBC.

Can we submit the Material Credits to be reviewed as LEED v4.1 and the remaining as LEED v4?
Our BD-NC project is already in second appeal review.
Kindly reply someone from LEED.

I have the same question. I'd like to substitute the credit for v4.1 but there is not an updated BPDO calculator available on USGBC... http://www.usgbc.org/resources/bpdo-calculator

Dear @Mike.
You can submit the same BPDO Calculator as currently no updates are available for the calculator. In LEED Online, within each credit in your LEED v4 project, you will see a substitution icon on the right side of the credit. Don't forget to click on that icon. when the icon will turn from gray to blue. It means that you have substitute the v4 credit for v4.1.

We don't see any blue icon on our end (and have tried multiple browsers) - we registered our projects in 2017, does anyone know if there's a way to get that "substitution" icon to show up?

Does anybody know if there is still no BPDO calculator update for 4.1? This is challenging to keep track of without a proper updated calculator.

The calculator is available but it's password protected with embedded objects. If you are trying to copy and paste data from the v4 to the v4.1 BPD+O, it can't be done. Autosave is also disabled. I initiated a trouble ticket for this but I assume I won't hear back until after 1/2/2020.

Following up on my post: The revised BPD+O calculator still hasn't been fixed. They're working on it. I figured I would share so this to spare more people from listening to the sad GBCI hold music.

Hi, Has the calculator been fixed. It seems to be protected and I am unable to add information.

Hi Sean- this is the most current version I know of. https://www.usgbc.org/credits/new-construction-core-and-shell-schools-ne...
Note that you need to put ALL of the materials info on the Materials Tab. On the other tabs, you can't actually enter in materials...it reads them from this one Materials tab.
