Required Documentation in LEED refers to which of the following?

• A. Public disclosure requirements
• B. Budget and financial records for certification
• C. Construction drawings and permit approvals only
• D. Documents to upload to LEED Online and the signer responsible for signing off

Answer: (D)

In LEED, Required Documentation is about the materials you upload to LEED Online and the person who signs off on them. These documents serve as evidence that the project meets the credits and prerequisites, and they are the items the LEED reviewer will verify during certification. The upload set is defined by the specific credits and prerequisites and can include things like drawings, product data, calculations, commissioning reports, operations and maintenance manuals, and other project records as needed. The signer is the team member responsible for validating the accuracy and completeness of the submission and for officially signing off before it goes to LEED reviewers. Other options describe items that aren’t the defined submission package (for example, general budgets or broad permit paperwork), which aren’t the required documentation LEED Online expects for certification.
