The project in question is the north building of a 2-building, 1 million sf facility. Ongoing purchases and cleaning products are purchased for both the north and south facilities as a whole and not tracked separately. We are thinking about allocating purchases on an area basis. For example if 1,000 reams of paper are purchased and the north building is 700,000 sf then 700 would be attributed to the north building.
Any thoughts on this approach?

I've seen this approach work before when the building types, occupant types, and owner/management are all the same or very similar. It also helps if the performance periods are exactly the same (unless one building isn't going to go for EBOM certification at all, then that part doesn't matter). You'll need to include a clear narrative explaining your logic and your calculations. I'd include this narrative in both the PI forms section and in the individual credits that are taking this approach.
