Hello,

I have a Core and Shell building under certification that has 5 underground parking floors. According to LEED Reference Guide, page 612, "projects which contain underground and/or structured parking, may exclude that area from the gross square footage used for the calculation." Therefore, I have excluded it, since the FTE would be super-dimensioned if I included this area in the GSF. The problem is when I get to the EAc6 calculation. Since my GSF doesn´t include the parking, I am excluding its electricity consumption from the calculation. (GSF - USF)*35%.
If I change the GSF only for this calculation and include the parking area, the template will accuse the difference between the credits. Do you have any idea how to proceed in this case?
Many thanks
