Most of these (answered by Construction Executive magazine) might not involve electrical contractors. Here’s one that might be interesting:
Q: How can subcontractors be held accountable for providing LEED information and product submittals in a timely manner in order to mitigate needing to circle back on missing LEED information?
A: The LEED submittal and product requirement language found in each specification section serves as the contractual leverage to get this information from subcontractors. They bid the project based on the spec book, meaning it is their contractual obligation to understand therequirements. All LEED projects should have undergone a LEED design review process, which is when the LEED requirements make their way into the spec book.
The best way to ensure non-compliant products are not getting approved inproduct data submittals is to enforce that product data and LEED information must come together in one package or (at a minimum) be sent at the same time, which allows for a simultaneous review by all team members.
