Curious if anyone has submitted a "mixed submittal" before either during the regular LEED submissions or during an appeal?
The project we're working on - some of the spaces comply with calculations, but not all. We're thinking about testing the non-compliant spaces and submitting both data. (More info from our acoustician below):
All core learning spaces between 10,000 cu. Ft. and 20,000 cu. Ft. previously met the requirements via the “Calculation” method.
We plan to conduct in situ reverberation time measurements to verify compliance and it would seem unnecessary to re-confirm the compliant spaces . However, since the submittal form requires an “either or” selection, would we need to measure for both volume sizes or could we just measure for the non-compliant room size?

Hi Candice:
Sorry for the late reply. I haven't heard of anyone doing this and I haven't tried. You could either just proceed with this approach and write up what your intentions are in the Special Circumstances box in the template (personally, I don't see a problem with it) or you could ask USGBC for a definitive answer.
Hope this helps.
