I think group certification would be a good option for my two identical (mirrored) buildings on the same property with the same owner. Can I register one now, then wait till group registration is available on LEED Online, and then add the other building in a few months time? Or get a voucher to reregister? I can’t find the difference in cost to register and certify as two individual projects or as a group including two buildings. Where do I find that information? (Customer wants to know). Thank you!

Maria - Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have a similar situation on an EBOM project I'm working on that will need to be registered soon.

Unfortunately there is no additional guidance or information regarding the 2010 AGMBC Group Certification method including what else it will entail or how project teams can prepare for its release. More information is expected within the next few months. We recommend you wait until this additional guidance is released.

Jeremy - The information on the US GBC's website indicates that LEED Online should be ready for Multiple buildings in the 1st quarter of 2012. Is this an indication that this date will change as "the next few months" includes at least portions of the 2nd quarter of this year as well. There is a limit to how much we can delay our program as the client - as always - is in a hurry.

Michael,
I am not sure if LEED Online functionality will be available by the end of the 1st quarter but the final release is expected within the next few months. Please accept my apologizes for not having an exact date available.

No answers until now. I have registered one of my two projects, so that people can start working, and I'm hoping to add the other one soon.

First quarter has passed and still no news. So now I'm registering my second, identical, project. It would be nice for them to have a reduced fee for building number two. I'll just have to upload all information twice in the two projects...
