As most are fully aware, the east coast was severely hit by Tropical Storm Sandy. I am currently working on a LEED job that was completely flooded and damage was done. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation and how should it be addressed for LEED Documentation?

Hi Megan,
I'm sorry to hear this. It wasn't a project I worked on directly, but my co-workers at Lake/Flato Architects had a LEED project that was hit by Hurricane Rita while it was under construction (Shangri La Botanical Gardens). I believe they actually got an innovation credit by using all the felled trees on the property for structure and furniture. I'd be happy to put you in touch with the Project Manager and LEED Consultant from that project. My email is heather@greence.com

Megan, I'm sorry to hear about this. This kind of issue is not anticipated in any specific LEED requirements, but neither should it present any insurmountable obstacles that I can think of. Please post here or on specific credits if there are problems you're running up against.
