Has anyone experienced a LEED

Hi Alessio,

Your project may pursue and achieve LEED-CI certification in a building that is certified or is pursuing certification under LEED-CS. However, if the base building has not earned LEED-CS certification at the time of the CI submittal, the CI project cannot achieve points under SSc1: Site Selection - Option 1, Select a LEED Certified Building.

I second Samantha on that. If you want to claim points for locating in a LEED building you will need the building's certification done. At the latest you can submit that during the final construction review.

LEED-CS certification does not have to be complete to register the LEED-CI project.

Alessio, you don't have to be in a LEED certified building or a building undergoing LEED certification in order to LEED certify a space under LEED CI. If you want to get the points under SS c1 the above applies.

Followup question: Where does LEED Neighborhood development come into play? I havea building being constructed by a developer in an urban neighborhood. Can i get option 1 when developer files for ND instead of CS?

Maybe there is an CIR which might allow you to do that, but without an CIR this is still a no.
Check the LEED interpretation database or you can always submit a CIR yourself. I would think it's following the intent of the credit, but that's just my interpretation.
