EBOM 2009 PI Form 2

Does anybody know why this form wants a breakdown of new construction, existing renovated, and existing unrenovated? We are working on a 20 year old building, and over 20 years I am sure that various tenants have come and gone, and that walls or ducts have changed over time. My question: how is USGBC using this information? I could guess at the square feet that have been renovated over time, but it seems irrelevent (?). Thank you, I could not find another thread on this.

As I understand it, this breakdown relates to activity on the building during the performance period, rather than over its entire lifetime. That's the only relevant piece of information they could possibly be asking for. The other possibility is that PIForm 2 was originally designed for BD&C and simply carried over to EBOM without too much asking about how applicable that information was to an existing building project. . . Hope that helps, Dan

Thank you, Dan. I will proceed based on that logical assumption.
