Who is responsible for assembling the project submittal package and submitting it for certification review?

• A. Green Raters
• B. Owner
• C. LEED for Homes Provider
• D. USGBC

Answer: (A)

In LEED for Homes, the Green Rater is the on-site third‑party verifier whose job includes compiling the required documentation and submitting the project submittal package to LEED Online for certification review. They gather plans, test results, commissioning reports, and field verification records, ensure everything meets the credits and prerequisites, and then submit the package so USGBC can review it. The owner is typically the client and funder, not the person assembling the submittal. The LEED for Homes Provider offers training and support for raters but does not itself assemble and submit the package. USGBC conducts the formal certification review after submission.
