Hi everyone, here is a new comer of LEEDuser.
Umm... after reading the LEED online block set up instruction, grateful if I could have more rigid advices.
Can I add one NC project and one CS project in the same block? Can I add projects which I have already registered?
If I am going to apply AGMBC, do I need to add one more project named master site, plus the 2 buildings which I wanted to group. Or I could just simply add the 2 buildings?
And for the fee structure, I can see that a registration master site costs US$900 (member price). Does that mean I need to pay a registration of master site on top of the 2 buildings?
Thanks

Hello Anthea, You can have both NC and CS projects within a single Block registration. Additionally, you can document Campus Credits within a single Master Site project that will then be applicable to individual projects utilizing either of these Design + Construction (D+C) rating systems, as long as the most stringent of the requirements for a particular credit under either of these rating systems is being met (if they vary). Please see page 6 of the latest AGMBC for more info (https://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=10486).
However, once the approach is available in LEED Online, buildings included within a single LEED project utilizing the 'Group Certification' approach will all have to individually qualify for the same particular rating system. Also, please note that Operations + Maintenance (O+M) projects may not utilize Campus Credits from a D+C Master Site project or vice-versa.
I should also mention that although it is required in order to utilize the Campus Credit approach to the AGMBC, the Block registration feature in LEED Online v3 can actually be used for purposes, as well. See also the LEED Online v3 Help for more information on the Block registration tool: https://www.leedonline.com/irj/go/km/docs/documents/usgbc/leed/config/co....
