We registered a project in 2009 as a single building prior to the publications of campus/multi-building application guide even through it is three buildings. The project has come back and we found out the fees have tripled to re-register now as a Group Certification and some credits will be much more stringent now that each building must stand alone on the IEQ credits. Is there a president to "grandfather" the project in as it was registered in 2009 prior to the publication of the campus/multi-building process.

John, This needs unraveling. I'm assuming that even though you registered the project as a single building that you never completed the forms and uploaded the same to the GBCI...Correct?. You say the building has 'come back' and again I'm assuming the client has decided to go forward with the project. Are the three buildings connected in any way?. Are they all separately metered? I really don't hold out a lot of hope that you will get this project through as a single building without some more information. You're welcome to call me if that would help?

In 2009 we only registered, no forms submitted. The project has "come back" meaning it was put on hold for some time and we are working to upload our design submission and documents are done, ready for bidding. All three buildings are totally separate on same tight lot, same leed bountry but not connected in any way. They will be separately metered.
Main question; is anyone aware of a pathway to allow three non-connected buildings to be treated as a single building and not use the Campus Guide?

John. No, there is no pathway. They are either three separate buildings, or 'Group' (one plaque for the whole site), or 'Campus' if you want a plaque on each building. I suggest you call the GBCI and work something out with them.
