LEED NC: MR or LEED EBOM

We have a manufacturing facility that under going addition of 30% of total floor area and wish to apply for LEED certification. Can we use the LEED NC? or Should we use LEED EBOM?

At that level of addition, you have a choice. Since you're below 40% the conventional choice would be LEED-EBOM. But it's big enough an area that if you wanted to do NC, it's fairly justifiable.The simple choice is EBOM but if see advantages to doing things like a whole building energy model, you could do NC.
