We have a hotel building (600,000 sf) and a convention center (150,000 sf) which are connected by a 300-400 feet ong corridor. The 2 buildings have the same owner, will be built by the same contractor and will under the same hotel operator. We want to go for LEED silver for both building but want to register both of them as one project (eg. : X hotel and convention center), will this be ok or we need to register them separately ? Please note I am not asking to go for group project and my question is regarding registering the 2 buildings as one project.

Ahmad, generally LEED projects are trying to do the opposite: separately certify two buildings or attached spaces. So it's a little different to consider the question from your angle.I would say the answer is yes, you can do them together, but it depends on the specfiics. If they have separate energy and mechanical systems, for example, that would point toward certifying separately.

I have a similar question but regarding two office buildings that are connected only by un underground parking lot. They have the same owner and will be built by the same contractor but they have separate energy and mechanical systems and they are not attached to each other. Can they be registered as one LEED project? Ahmad, did you get more information on this subject?
