Hello everybody,
I am working on a building with offices and process parts located on an existing campus with the same tenant and with all the building connected to the same main entrance and everything.
We are only certifying the new building with the New Construction rating system with its on leed boundary and its own additional parking spaces but I was wondering about the Reduced Parking Footprint, should we take into account all of the buildings (existing and new) total gross floor area and all of the parking slots or only the new building total gross floor area and the new parking slots ?
We are not going for the campus approach but the new parking will be located in the immediate vicinity of the existing one.
Thank you in advance.

I can advise on what I've been told in the past, and what I've done on similar projects.
You can tackle this credit from the campus standpoint, even if your not registered as a LEED Campus project. I was told in the past that you basically have two options:
In my projects where this was feasible, we followed #2 since the client had all the info available and was able to supply it. The #1 strategy above was never realistic for my projects' setups. I could see how maybe having card/code access to a segregated area could be a real thing, but otherwise, having arbitrary signage was just not logical or realistic for my projects.
