Hello
We are working on the project, which include 3 independent buildings: A, B & C (each 17 stories above grade has own mechanic, energy system and entrances ) and 3 floors underground parking space, which are under refurbishment. The ground floor is also common and dedicated for retail, restaurants and a delivery area. In each building upper floors from 1-st floor up to 14 will be office spaces for lease with the top two floors allocated for the technical plant. In the parking spaces ventilation, heating & lighting system (energy and mechanical systems) are common for whole area. To the parking is entrance under building C. The LEED project boundary includes whole describe above project i.e. 3 building and underground parking spaces. Project is register under CS v.3 and is after final design review. Now developer decided to build only building A and B. and continue certification only for those 2 buildings. There is also additional entrance to the garage though non certified existing office building, which are not include to our project. The problem is to divide parking spaces because of common mechanical and mechanical system for whole area and only one enter. Now is only executing building A and B. Developer has plan to build tower C in future (no plan when yet) and also certified that building. Have you any ideas how to divide that project?. Can we continue certification without execution building C and resubmit in construction submittal credits and prerequisites, which will changed (almost everything)?. Which leed system will be appropriate in future to certified building C? In energy model how we shall treat the temporary elevation (as permanent) between building B and C on 1-st floor ?.

Given that you have been through the final design review, I would submit your question to your LEED reviewer. You will want definitive direction from the source. Good luck!
