LEED AP as integral team member
You can easily earn this point, simply by including a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP) as an integral member of the project team. Since the LEED certification process relies on detailed understanding of LEED, having a LEED AP on board benefits the project and can save significant time and effort, while earning your project a point with this credit.
The LEED AP needs to be involved as a “principal participant” from the start of the project, according to the credit language.
LEED AP specialties
The LEED AP credential program was overhauled in spring 2009. Anyone becoming a LEED AP before then is equally eligible to contribute to this credit.

where to upload scanned certificate
The IOc2 form has no place to upload a scanned copy of the certificate do you happen to know where you would upload the scanned copy of the certificate?
Rachael, I don't see a place to upload this, either. I guess that means they don't expect to see the certificate. I would just make sure that the person selected as the LEED AP appears in GBCI's online directory.
Rachael and Tristan, it's possible to upload the certificate: in the scorecard page on leedonline you have to press the botton at the top page "your account" and at the page "update personal information" at the title "Leed Accredited Professional information" you can upload the Leed AP Certificate.

Thank you.
In the reference guide it states on the bottom of page 474 to track the LEED AP's role and participation in the project design and developent process. I don't see anywhere on LEED Online where I could upload any tracking documentation.
There is not always a one-to-one match between what is required and what you have to document. If they don't ask for this, you don't have to provide it.
Can LEED BD+C APs earn IOc2 for LEED EBOM?
I'm wondering if USGBC/GBCI would require me to be a LEED O+M AP in addition to being a LEED BD+C AP. Has anyone not earned this credit because they weren't a LEED O+M specialty?
Kelly, as it's stated in the Checklists section just above:
"Any type of LEED AP can qualify the project for this credit, but a LEED AP with a specialized operations and maintenance credential (LEED AP O+M) would be the ideal choice for a LEED-EBOM project."
In other words, you don't have to have the specialty to earn the credit.
