I am currently in the process of determining which LEED rating system will be best for my project. The project consists of 11 existing multifamily buildings on different sites all on the same city block. All 11 buildings are 3 stories above grade in height. We will be doing improvements to the building envelope (windows, doors, brick) as well as redoing interior finishes, baths, kitchens and major upgrades to building systems in each building. Which rating system would be recommended for this type of project. Based on the LEED rating system guidance, I am thinking that our project would fall under LEED homes low-rise or LEED NC & Major Renovations but I am not certain based on the information provided. Please advise.

Gregory, since the buildings are only three stories, I think there is no question that LEED for Homes is the right choice. Were there any other circumstances that led you to question that?

Tristan,
Thanks for your response. In the LEED rating system selection guidance document, LEED NC was recommeded as another option for projects with similar characteristics, which led me to question which rating system my project would fall under.
