The v4.1 credit form says, under the Sound Transmission section uploads, "Explain how the occupied spaces have been categorized in terms of use and acoustic privacy and provide documentation demonstrating the STCc or NIC criteria have been met for each space. Upload NIC measurement results, STCc calculations, design documentation from person(s) experienced in the field of acoustics, the Acoustic Performance Calculator (found under the credit's "Resources" tab in the Credit Library), or other documents as needed."

The "or" in that sentence reads to me like the calculator is not required as long as other documentation shows that the STC/NIC criteria are met. But maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part because I want to avoid the calculator. The v4 ref guide says you need to provide "calculations" but not "the calculator." Anyone been through a review using just an acoustic consultant's report or other non-calculator docs? Thanks!
