An existing campus with no LEED certified buildings, no similar buildings except the dorms. What would be the best strategy: certify a group of buildings first then pursue a campus master site. Understanding that existing buildings will take time to upgrade and likely it will be done in phases as funding is allocated - what is the best way forward? Thanks Khaled

If you are going to do a Master Site - do that first so you can take advantage of those credits for your individual projects. You can do the Master Site in conjunction with a project as well from a timing stand point. Be careful now as GBCI is still mulling over how a v2009 master site and projects will turn over into v4 or if they can be mixed together as long as they are all BD&C etc. I have not heard if that decision has been made. You may have to have a v2009 Master Site and then upgrade it or have a separate v4 Master Site. I feel you should get an answer to that question then you can set your course.

Thanks Donald. How can I estimate the Master Site fees?

Go to the GBCI website, under Building Certification you can click on the Fees link - it is a flat fee.
