Consistency is Key for LEED Online Submission to GBCI
Let’s assume that our LEED Reviewers are happy in the first place and keep them happy with consistency, consistency, consistency! The problem is, the dates aren’t always going to be consistent so we need to explain our process to our LEED Reviewers.
