Hi all, I am pursing a multiple building submission for 2 NC buildings. I am currently trying to draw a group project boundary for the 2 buildings which are separated by a project boundary of another ongoing LEED group project. I understand from this guideline that the campus boundary must be continuous, but nothing was mentioned regarding group boundary. Is it possible to have my group project boundary marked as two separated parcels of land, each containing one of the buildings?

For group projects, the same MPR 3 criteria apply as for individual buildings (except that there can be more than one LEED-certifiable building within the LEED Project Boundary). Therefore, the criteria outlined on page 24 of the LEED 2009 MPR Supplemental Guidance (http://www.usgbc.org/Docs/Archive/General/Docs6473.pdf) regarding when non-contiguous parcels may be included would apply. Of course, a single, contiguous LEED Project (site) Boundary is preferable.
