During LEED submission, the project team needs to make an extra effort to support the credit documentation with the completed checklist and the required documents. Although the LEED rating system does not list detailed documentation, it is best practice to send in supporting documents for the prescriptive requirements from the AEDG. The supporting documents should include relevant narratives, wall sections, mechanical drawings, and calculations.
The design team completes the LEED Online documentation, signing off on compliance with the applicable AEDG, and writing the narrative report on the design approach and key highlights.

It is common for the LEED reviewers to make requests for more information. Go along with the process—it doesn’t mean that you’ve lost the credit. Provide as much information for LEED Online submittal as requested and possible.

The energy modeler should ensure that any final design changes have been incorporated into the updated model.

Although EAc1 is a design phase submittal, it may make sense to submit the credit after construction for LEED certification to take into account any final design changes.
