There are a number of LEED credits which theoretically should be applicable to an entire campus (i.e. Public Transportation, Development Density, Construction Activity Pollution Prevention), but they do not appear in the AGMBC Guidance document Table 1A. Since there is no full LEED-Online functionality available yet, and the campus must be documented under existing rating systems, how do we know which credits qualify and which don't? There are too many credits that appear applicable to request a CIR for each.

Hi Thomas, It sounds as though you may be looking at an older copy of the AGMBC document. Please refer to the newer version (https://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=10486) and to the accompanying, somewhat revised Appendix A for the D+C rating systems (https://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=10484). There you will see, for example, that both SSc2 - Development Density and SSc4.1 - Public Transportation Access are now available to be attempted as Campus Credits. There are still several prerequisites and credits that are required to be documented and evaluated on an individual building basis, but particular projects may have unique circumstances that merit exceptions. Teams in such circumstances are not required to submit their proposals via CIR, but that is the only way to have them approved in advance of the review. Please note that all prerequisites and credits were carefully considered for campus credit eligibility, so the bar is set rather high for demonstrating the validity of an exception to the existing guidance in Appendix A of the latest AGMBC.
