Technical expertise and time management are key elements for the achievement of the certification according to the client’s expectations: those who decides to certify their properties usually specify the minimum expected level and often have clear necessities, also in terms of deadlines by which they wish to obtain the certification.
USBGC has recently published a summary of key deadlines to meet in order to complete the LEED certification process by December 31st, 2024.
The GBCI review team, that checks the documentation in relation to design phase and construction phase, has a standard period of 5 weeks for the preliminary review and another 5 weeks for the final review, the latter following the integration of documents and answers to clarification requests.
This means that the team of professional that manages and coordinates the certification process needs to plan the activities of documentation closure and start of review considering these timelines, to be able to obtain the certification according to the client’s deadline.
