Are you involved in a LEED Volume Program project? LEEDuser has opened up this forum as a dedicated place to post your questions and comments on this process. Please post below!

What is LEED Volume? Here's a key quote from the USGBC LEED Volume webpage:

"The LEED Volume Program streamlines the certification process for multiple buildings of a similar type. For organizations planning to certify a large number of new construction projects, the LEED Volume Program simplifies LEED documentation and speeds up the process. The volume program is available for both new construction and existing buildings seeking certification of their operations and maintenance."

This LEEDuser forum thread is for discussion of the Green Globes rating system. If you have questions on Green Globes, experience you want to share, or other perspectives, please use this forum!

If you're working on a LEED Canada project, here's a user forum just for you! Share your questions, confusions, challenges, successes, and lessons learned in this space.

Note that in many respects, LEED Canada, from the Canadian Green Building Council (CaGBC), is very similar to the U.S. version of LEED-NC, and so many questions are answered, and discussions are  taking place, through our LEED-NC resources and forums. But if you're dealing with a uniquely Canadian spin on things, this forum is for you.

Update: Since this forum was initially established, LEEDuser has created specific forums for each LEED for Homes credit and prerequisite. Please post your questions and thoughts there! See our rating system directory to navigate to the right forum.

4/2/14 Update: LEED Campus Guidance For Projects on a Shared Site (formerly the Application Guide for Multiple Buildings and On-Campus Building Projects) has been updated to include guidance for LEED v4 Rating Systems and reflect changes in LEED Online. Two additional appendices have been added as quick look-up tables for determining campus and group eligibility for v4 credits. Finally, additional credit-specific guidance has been added for several BD&C and EB:O&M v2009 credits.

2/25/14 Update: The links below have been updated in line with USGBC's new website. Also, LEED Online for Campus projects is now simply part of the new LEED Online.

4/17/13 Update: USGBC has launched LEED Online for Campus projects to facilitate easier certification of multiple building and campus projects. Read more about it on USGBC's website.

10/31/11 Update: USGBC has released complete "Guidance for Multiple Buildings and On-Campus Projects," for LEED certification of multiple buildings on the same site. Officially called the 2010 Application Guide for Multiple Buildings and On-Campus Building Projects Release 2, or 2010 AGMBC v2. for short, the document provides complete campus guidance for LEED 2009 projects for the first time. Part 1 of the guide was released last year and ever since, LEED users have been awaiting Part 2, which was supposed to explain how to certify buildings as a group. This new release includes Part 1 and Part 2, folding it all into one document.

However, LEED Online v3 functionality to support group certification is not yet available. It is anticipated in the 1st Quarter of 2012. Until functionality is available, all projects must be registered individually.

Projects registered prior to 10/31/11 can elect to use v1, even though doing so is not encouraged: 2010 AGMBC Release. LEED v2 projects can still use the 2005 AGMBC guide 

What do you think of the new guidance? Is it useful? Comprehensible? What questions do you have?
