We are certifying 2 buildings within a Master Site and we have registered both of them:
Building A
Building B
Then, we have linked them with the Block Registration Tool.
We don't know how to upload files and populate the forms for the campus credits. Do we need to register another project and use it only to submit the campus credits?
Thanks

Hi Alicia, Yes, you will need to register a Master Site project within the same registration Block to document & achieve the campus credits. Although the Master Site project never receives its own certification, campus credits must be approved through review of the Master Site before they can be applied to any individual project within the same LEED Campus Boundary. This is explained more fully on pages 5-6 of the AGMBC document ( https://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=10486 ) and in the LEED Online Help content re: AGMBC ( https://www.leedonline.com/irj/go/km/docs/documents/usgbc/leed/config/co...(agmbc).htm ).

Hi folks, my question is similar to Alicia's, but concernig to the PI Forms.
In case of a multiple building project what'the procedure? We should fill out the PI Forms for each building and the Master Site? Master Site will be tricky, a lot of information doesn't apply...

On the PI forms I filled out the information for each building and then I combined the information on the Master Site.This way the shared site credits that link back to the Master Site forms have information to link to. (I'd like to know if this is not how I should have filled it out.)

Hi Marcio and Cassandra, As noted in the Master Site Documentation Tips of the LEED Online v3 Help content for AGMBC projects (https://www.leedonline.com/irj/go/km/docs/documents/usgbc/leed/config/co...), there is only certain information that must be completed on PIf2, PIf3, & PIf4 in the Master Site project. For example, the only data you need to complete in Project Information form 2 (PIf2) are four fields under the heading "Site Characteristics". PIf1 and the other fields on the rest of the PI forms may be left blank. Even if you do not get a 'Y' for compliance in the calculator at the bottom of each form, it can still be submitted, reviewed, and approved, as appropriate.
Note that even though these three LEED Project Information Forms (PIf2, 3, & 4) must be completed, reviewed, and ‘awarded’ at a campus level, each related, individual LEED project within this campus will also need to complete the form and meet the requirements in order to achieve certification. Individual projects cannot simply claim the PIf's from the Master Site in the same way they would campus credits that have been reviewed and awarded in the Master Site project.
I hope that is helpful. Best of luck with your certification, -Eric

Hi Eric,
And how about the estimated cost of contruction in PIForm2? Clients find it hard to separate from building to building because of the exterior areas...They usually have the cost of each the building but the cost of the external areas is all together. Can we inform the total cost only in the Master Site PIForm?
thanks
