Hello Everyone.
Our client is going to build an addition to an existing building.
This building is factory which runs a production line. the addition will represent more than 5% of the building area, and less than 50% of the total gross square footage of the building.
Our question is. Will this follow under the LEED EB_O&M Rating System? Or can we insert it in another rating system?
Thanks

Henrique, if between 40% and 60% is an addition and 40% to 60% is not being renovated, then you have discretion to choose either LEED EBOM or LEED-NC.

Thank you Tristan.
What if over 60% is not being renovated? Then I should go for EB_O&M?
Since it´s a factory, I´ll have a very different energy use baseline right. I believe we´d have to standardize it before starting the performance period, if I understand it right. Could you help me clarify this?
Thank you in advance.

Right about the 60%. On your energy question, I'd post that to our EBOM EAp2 forum.
