What if the project Gross Floor Area (GFA) changes after invoices have been generated?
For unpaid certification invoices, fees are based on the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-invoiced at the correct GFA. Therefore, if the original project generated invoices under a previous fee schedule, but remain unpaid, those invoices will be canceled, and new invoices will be based on the current fee schedule.
For prepaid certification review invoices, new invoices will be created that will adhere to the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-invoiced at the correct GFA. Fees that were prepaid will be transferred towards the new invoice, and any difference will be owed.
For projects that have already been through Design Review, additional design phase fees will apply if your project increases in size between the design and construction phases of review. The design review fee will be calculated based on the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-invoiced at the correct GFA. Any difference between the amount originally paid and the amount owed will be billed via a supplemental invoice for the increase in GFA.
What if the project timeline changes after invoices have been generated?
For unpaid certification invoices, fees are based on the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-invoiced under the correct timeline. Therefore, if the original project generated invoices under a previous fee schedule, but remain unpaid, those invoices will be cancelled, and new invoices will be based on the current fee schedule.
For prepaid certification review invoices, new invoices will be created that will adhere to the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-invoiced under the correct timeline. Fees that were prepaid will be transferred towards the new invoice(s), and any difference will be owed.
For projects that have already been through Design Review, the design review fee will be calculated based on the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-invoiced at the correct GFA. Any difference between the amount paid and the owed will be billed via a supplemental invoice for the increase in GFA.
We need to change to the correct rating system or upgrade to a newer version of LEED. Can we change rating systems?
There is no administrative fee to change rating systems.
Project Administrators and Managers of individual BD+C, ID+C and O+M projects may switch between rating systems or upgrade their project directly in LEED Online by clicking on the ‘Change’ button next to where it says 'Rating System' on the ‘Details’ tab, as outlined in this step-by-step video tutorial. If this functionality is not displayed in LEED Online, please Contact us.
For unpaid registration and certification invoices, fees are based on the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-registered under the correct rating system and new invoices are generated. Therefore, if the original project generated invoices under a previous fee schedule, but remain unpaid, those invoices will be cancelled, and new invoices will be based on the current fee schedule.
For paid registration invoices, no further registration fees will be due, regardless of the fee schedule in place at the time the rating system change occurs.
For prepaid certification review invoices, new invoices will be created that will adhere to the fee schedule in place at the time the project is re-registered under the correct rating system. Fees that were prepaid will be transferred towards the new invoice, and any difference will be owed.
