Amer,

The CxA is absolutely for the Energy and Atmosphere prerequisite (fundamental), and they have duties such as developing a commissioning plan, reviewing the Basis of Design (BOD) and Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR), verifying installation and performance of systems, and completing a summary. The LEED AP, although not absolutely required, earns a point for IDc2, and it would be silly not to use one because it’s so easy to earn that point, and the LEED AP helps everyone understand and know their role in the LEED application process.

Thanks for the info posted on this page..I have question:

Thanks

In WE Online Credit Template 3.1/3.2 the # of Design Case flow fixtures is limited to 8; our project has more that 8. How do you add more fixtures to accurately portray design case?

A practice test I’m taking (Meghan Peot and Brennan Schumacher, question #65) says that “the LEED Online Credit Template is divided into the following four sections: Template Status, Manage Template, Required Documents, Documentation Status”.

Is this correct and where can I find more information about the structure and content of the online credit templates? Thanks!

I’m not sure where to post this question, but the practice exam I am taking asks about “critical decision points”. What are these and where is this defined?

Example Q:
Which Indoor Environmental Quality credits have critical decision points prior to construction? (Choose two.)

EQ Prerequisite 1, Minimum IAQ Performance
EQ Prerequisite 2, Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control
EQ Credit 2, Increased Ventilation
EQ Credit 5, Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control
Solution:
The answer is B and D.

Only EQ Prerequisite 2, Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control, and EQ Credit 5, Chemical and Pollutant Source Control, have critical decision points prior to the construction phase of a project. EQ Prerequisite 1, Minimum IAQ Performance, and EQ Credit 2, Increased Ventilation, have periods of activity prior to construction, but no critical decision points.

Thank you for this list. Is there one for Commercial Interiors? There seems to be a lot of difference between the credits in the LEED for NC categories and the LEED CI categories.
Your site is great. My CI exam is 6/13/09 and I’m trying to be ready.
Thanks again,
Jeff

That is exactly what I was looking for too. It wasn’t in your LEED AP walkthrough and the practice tests I have been taking have been asking a lot of questions about it.

PAT –

Thank you for this truly amazing resource for all of us. I for one would be freaking even more about this crazy exam without it.

I have a question about CDVR: Corrected Design Ventilation Rate. How does one calculate the design ventilation rate against the air-change rate. Can you provide an example? I don’t get it.

Thank you-

Paul — Design submittal occurs once you have “100% Construction Documents” completed. Construction is once you have completed the remaining credits. Letter templates are filled out on an ongoing basis; however, they are not submitted as such, they must be submitted either as a split review with one design phase review and one construction phase review, or as one combined design & construction phase review.
Hope this helps and didn’t confuse you more.

When does the design submittal start and the construction submittal start, esp. if you are going with two submittal stages in lieu of one? Does the construction submittal stage come at the end of the project or is it progressive as construction moves forward?

Thanks

Ed & Matt,

How do you physically submit these additional documents to USGBC? I understand the template submissions required but do not see a way to upload additional documentation.

Pat,
thanks for providing this information, i was one of the people that wanted to see this on your website too.
For SSP1 how come we are supposed to show it in the CDs instead of possibly just showing images like required in EQ3.1? I don’t really remember showing temporary construction things on our architectectural sets..?
not sure if im understanding it correctly…
