We have a hotel project that is 23 stories and was started and registered as a LEED NCv2.2 project in 2008. The design phase submittal was completed for the project and then at that time the owner placed the project on hold. The project was shelved for about a year with only the exterior of the project completed. During that time, the first floor was completed as suites (villas) and were not necessarily done to LEED standards. The remainder of the 23 stories is now being completed and we are preparing to submit for construction phase submittal. The question is how to handle the villas. Techincally, they should be excluded from the LEED boundary, but how do you do this if they were included during the design phase submittal and is USGBC/ GBCI going to allow a complete floor to be excluded from the project? If anyone has any information on a similar situation it woudl be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jennifer,I doubt GBCI will allow a complete floor to be excluded from an NC project. I would reccomend contacting GBCI directly about this question.My only thought is that you could try to start over and call your NC project an addition, in an attempt to wholly exclude that floor. But I'm not sure this would work, and I'm not sure you can start over.Again, you should contact GBCI.
