I am working on a multi-phase project and I was wondering, does Option 2: Reduction of total waste material (Do not generate more than 2.5 pounds of construction waste per square foot of the building's floor area) apply to the entire building floor area per phase? Or just the floor area of the phase that is under construction? The entire building will be completely renovated by the end of the project, but our challenge is that the building has to stay operational hence the 4-6 phases. The building is also under 1 LEED registration.

Yasha - I am answering this post with identical text as was posted under https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/commingled-waste-one-or-multiple-material-streams#comment-52096.
The area for Option 2 would be the entire renovated space area (which is the same area you use for the Gross Floor Area in Project Details in LEED Online (See the Details tab)).
You will save and submit all your documentation for this credit at the end of all phases. Your calculation will be based on the overall waste for all phases divided by the entire renovated space's area.
