main tools are the project checklist and the templates (2.2) or LEED-Online (2009). The
project checklist is used to keep track of overall project success with respect to green
construction, and the templates or LEED-Online are used to keep track of individual
prerequisites and credits during the project and to submit information to the GBCI
during the certification application process.
At the onset of a project after registration, the GBCI supplies the LEED-NC
Registered Project Checklist to the project team. Table 1.2.3 shows a blank LEED-NC 2.2
checklist as downloaded from the USGBC website in May 2007. Table 1.2.4 is an example
of how a project team might format a checklist for LEED-NC 2009.
