Can this credit be awarded if the project team member joins the project late? What if the project team member earns the LEED AP Homes late in the project?
Projects may begin awarding credit ID 1.3 for participation of someone with the LEED AP Homes credential on the following strict conditions: 1) the individual with the credential must be a principal member of the project team, and not a member of the verification team; 2) the individual with the credential must play an ongoing role on the project team, including participation in meetings, etc.; 3) the credential must be earned and verified by the Green Rater prior to the project\'s preliminary rating; 4) there are currently no credentials or levels of experience that are considered equivalent to LEED AP Homes, but there may be considerations in the future.
