When we registered one of our healthcare projects we entered it with a gross project square footage of 14,300.
Under the LEED project, the 2nd floor will just a floor and shell, with no finishes or MEP/FP. The space is being fit-out under a different, future project and that will not be LEED Certified.
We are using the floor and shell of the 2nd floor for the Energy Model and to meet the MRc3 credit goals. So the gross square footage of the 2nd floor should be include, correct?
Another question. Can you confirm that gross square footage can be changed from the number input on the orginal registration tab?
The registration tab directs any changes to the gross project square footage to be made on LEED Form PL-F2, Project Summary Details

Catherine,
1) Yes you can change the gross project square footage in the registration tab. You want to make sure this is accurate when you submit for your design and construction reviews since the cost of the review is based on the square footage of the project.
2) The gross square footage of the 2nd floor must be included based on MPR#2 (Must Be a Complete, Permanent Building or Space). Check out LEED Interpretation #10102 regarding how to treat the 2nd floor unfinished space.
Good luck!
