credits

A simple list of credits for your reference.

I began this list thinking I would provide a brief summary of each credit. But there are many other websites out there that already do this. And I did not find that it helped me understand the credits more by doing it myself. So the first few have links to the few summaries I did. But I would check out InTheLEED.com and LEEDvisual.com for a complete list of credit summaries. Of course, using the reference manual is the ultimate resource for checking details about each credit.
