What should a LEED Existing Building project team do after receiving a preliminary review notification from GBCI?

After receiving a preliminary review notification from GBCI, the appropriate action for a LEED Existing Building project team is to respond and re-submit credits if necessary. This step is critical because the preliminary review provides valuable feedback regarding the project's compliance with LEED requirements.

Engaging with the feedback allows the team to understand which credits may not have met the necessary criteria and to make adjustments accordingly. This ensures that the final submission is as strong as possible and that all concerns raised in the review are adequately addressed.

By re-evaluating and potentially re-submitting credits based on the feedback, the project team demonstrates a commitment to achieving LEED certification and improves the chances of success. This process is an integral part of the LEED certification cycle, allowing for constructive dialogue and continuous improvement in the pursuit of sustainability goals.
