The project consists of two buildings that are phase 1 of a two phase development. We are planning on certifying the first two buildings under a single certification and then the second phase sometime in the future. My question is if the first two buildings will meet the &quot;LEED Boundary&quot; definition allowed under the new Minimum Program Requirements outlined in LEED 3.0. They two buildings in phase 1 are on either ends of the property, therefore they will not have contiguous site boundary, but rather two separate LEED Boundaries. The second phase will include the remainder of the total site, so I believe that it will meet the minimum program requirements. Does anyone have any experience with this?

The client is a non-profit with tight resources so i don't see being able to pay for submitting the bldgs as separate projects.<BR/>The other project is phased redevelopment of a single historic bldg - can i treat each phase as a "bldg" and use either "set of standards" again or the group of buildings as a package option.. <BR/>any thoughts?heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12835314589309649214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182743756361189626.post-54126713073317282962009-03-31T10:31:00.000-04:002009-03-31T10:31:00.000-04:00The problem I am running into is that I have a project with two new buildings (of completely different design and construction, one going for Certified, the other for Platinum) and several older buildings on the site. The other professionals on the project have already defined the site boundary for each of the new buildings to include all of the buildings on the site, old and new, and now I have to evaluate for SSc8. My question- do all of the buildings need to meet the interior light requirements, or just the new ones that are up for certification?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182743756361189626.post-73620684153472999522008-10-01T18:04:00.000-04:002008-10-01T18:04:00.000-04:00Thanks for the update anonymous... Though there's not multiple building path for EB, I would argue that if you've written all of the policies and have tracking in place for one building, it would be fairly easy to transfer those policies to other similar buildings without much effort. A pest management plan for one building on a campus can't be much different than for another in the same area. Ditto for procurement, green cleaning, etc.joelmckellarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15550241954337769327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182743756361189626.post-89212430658227514842008-10-01T17:58:00.000-04:002008-10-01T17:58:00.000-04:00Kriss asked if there is a multiple building option for existing buildings. I work for a large Army installation and had the same question. I know the chairperson on the LEED for campuses committee. I just asked him this question an hour ago. He said no (for multiple existing buildings) and they (green bldg council) are not planning on it. So it appears we will have to address it building by building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182743756361189626.post-53557713067450511342008-09-11T15:17:00.000-04:002008-09-11T15:17:00.000-04:00I am working on a small college campus in Colorado that is seeking certification. If I understand your post correctly Joel, you're using the multiple buildings option for New Construction. Is there a multiple buildings option for Existing Buildings?Krisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16794042380056566678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182743756361189626.post-13193709037610611352008-06-22T23:57:00.000-04:002008-06-22T23:57:00.000-04:00Hi,<BR/><BR/>As far as I understand, if you want different certification for different building in your development, the fee is charged separately for each building. Otherwise, it will be charged according to the floor area.<BR/>But you can always write to the USGBC for their confirmation.Reginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03634730648897052829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182743756361189626.post-38906608549856310482008-06-03T15:37:00.000-04:002008-06-03T15:37:00.000-04:00Where do I find the list of fees for multiple building certification?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
