Hello everyone.
I'm now working on a project under certification, according to LEED v2009 NC.
The project includes the restoration of an historical rural building, uninhabited and abandoned from long time. The condition of this rural building at the moment of the acquisition by the Owner were the following:
- The roof was no longer existing since it had collapsed many years before, as well as some interior stuctural slabs.
- Structural facades was still in a good condition and we maintain them, following a specific request of the Office of Cultural Heritage.
Just to summarize, considering that we maintain 100% of existing building structures, available at the time of the acquisition of the historical building by the Client, may we pursue the 3 points available?
Thanks

The form allows you to exclude material that was removed because it was structurally unsound or because it has to be removed as part of a hazardous material abatement program. I think roofs and floors that have collapsed prior to your restoration project could reasonably be deemed "structurally unsound."
