How can we change the project name after certification?
The LEED project administrator or an employee of the project's owner organization should contact us to request any updates. Be sure to provide us with:
- The updated name of the project, noting that the name must contain 100 characters or less, and
- The reason for an update.
How can we "Download All" of our project documentation from our certified LEED project?
For those seeking to retrieve their complete project documentation for a project certified under one of the LEED commercial rating systems, please follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Certified project download page.
- Login with USGBC credentials (which are the same as LEED Online credentials). You will see a complete list of projects on which you are listed as a project team member/admin.
Along with each project, there will be a Download button. If you select that, you can download a ZIP file consisting of the entire documentation.
If the project documentation isn't immediately available, a request will automatically be entered and the ZIP file will be made available at the same location within 24-48 hours of the request.
Please note if you do not receive your zip file within 24-48 hours, please contact us so we can look into its status.
How can we add project team members to projects after certification is complete?
The Project Team Administrator can add team members to projects after certification is complete. If the Project Team Administrator is unable to complete the request, the request to add a project team member needs to be submitted to GBCI by the Owner or Project Team Administrator listed for the project in LEED Online or from someone authorized to speak on their behalf.
Can we change owners post-certification, and what is the process?
Yes. If the owner organization has changed since certification, the Change of Owner Agreement form will need to be submitted to us through our contact us form.
The "Owner" is the organization listed in the project application, and the "Assignee" is the new owner organization. Representatives of both must provide their names and email addresses and sign the form electronically or manually. Please note that these requests are completed by USGBC's Legal Department, and they may reach out if they need further clarification.
If the original owner is unavailable (or has been incorrectly listed as the Owner, to sign the form, please complete the entire form except for the "Owner's Representative" and "Signature for Owner," and include legal documentation to substantiate the ownership change. USGBC typically accepts a copy of the deed, contract, or other legal documentation. If the legal document is in a language other than English, please highlight the applicable portion and include a brief note in English explaining the relevant portion of the document.
Be sure the Assignee includes the name and email address of an officer or employee to serve as the the new owner's representative ("Assignee's Representative").
Please note: Processing times for this type of change may be lengthy; to avoid delays, submit your request well in advance.
