We are currently having a campus containing 11 buildings/structures out of which, 6 are going to be LEED certified. All the site lighting contains LED lights and Occupancy Sensors which should show great savings. We are planning on doing the Campus credits AGMBC Approach, but I was wondering in order to setup the LEED Boundary of each building. Can an area of the site/parking be assigned to a particular building (to be certified) in order to show the savings of the LED lights, even though these lights are fed from an electrical panel attached to a building that is not going to be certified but still on campus?

Victor, I think it would be reasonable to include that site/parking area if it is associated with and supports the operations of the LEED project building. If it is more associated with the other building, then it probably should not be included.

Well the parking lot is going to be used by both buildings, because the LEED project (an auditorium) has the capacity of holding 300 people, while the nonLEED project (administration building) has less occupants but more continous occupancy, but as mentioned before the parking lights are conected to the admin building. I would appreciate any feedback on this.
