We´ll start to work on a project seeking LEED certification for multiple buildings inside a factory´s plant.
Is it possible to create and submit a master site, register one building project now, and after a couple years register another building under the same master site?

Yes! I am doing this for a couple projects. Where is gets tricky is when new LEED 2009 registrations are cut off, and LEED v4 comes into play. For v4 projects, you will have to create a new v4 master site.

Thank you for that.
And regarding this v4 issue, if we register all buildings now, under the LEED 2009, and just hold the performance period to start in different years. Will that work? Or do we have a limit due date to start our performance period once we register the building?

That should be fine. I am not as familiar with EBOM, but each should be able to have it's own performance period within LEED 2009 as long as you get them registered in time. I am guessing projects will have at least a year after v4 is released to register projects under 2009. But . . . who knows.

Thank you Very Much!!
I´ll go through the EB_OM book and forum to find out more about the performance period.
Cheers!!

Any individual EBOM building project you register now, or at any time before v3 registration ends, will have until the sunset date for EBOM 2009/v3 (which occurs at least six years after the close of the rating system) to submit for review and take advantage of campus credits earned in the v3 Master Site project. See the Certification Policy Manual for additional detail on Registration policies (http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-certification-policy-manual). Please note that EBOM initial performance period requirements may dictate additional limitations for when each project must be submitted, but as noted on pg 13 of the AGMBC (http://www.usgbc.org/Docs/Archive/General/Docs10486.pdf), EH is correct that the performance periods for each certifying building project do NOT all have to be the same when using the master site/campus credit approach. Also, you may register the project before you start the performance period.
