I am certifying an industrial manufacuting facility. We didn't think we would qualify as warehouse or distribution given our high eneryg use, but our facility type is much more akin to this rating system when it comes to its location and adjacent density. We would like to apply for an alternative compliance path under this verison of the credit. Our plan was to request this ACP in the credit form. Should we submit a project specific LEED Interpretation instead?

Recommend you reach out to USGBC first. I'm guessing the project is not yet registered, so you don't have a LEED Coach. Nonetheless, we have found the USGBC team to be very responsive and helpful even at these early stages.

Thanks guys! We are registered and already had our LEED coach call for the design phase. Will try to reach back out to them or just USGBC in general. Will share what we find and please do the same, Michelle.

Dear Jill,
I'd like to ask if you were able to get ACP for this credit because we also have a project (a manufacturing facility) and it is more aligned with the requirements of Warehouses. Please let me know if you were successful in it.
Thanks
