We are working on a college campus building. While the typical project is expected to be on a site that was remediated, our project is in a building that goes through partial asbestos abatement with each CI project. While this is allowed with Addenda 11/3/2010 I'm not sure how to best document it. Currently, SSc1 is expected to be documented during the Design Phase. We will not be able to submit the required paperwork for this part of Opt 2 until after construction is done. The templates no longer allow you to defer Design credits to the Construction Phase easily. In the past we've actually been told we hade to pay a Design Review Appeal fee if we submit Design credits after that review has been completed. We are submitted a split review. How should we go about documenting the asbestos abatement? Thank you.

Hi Blair,
SSc1 can be submitted for review during the design phase with just a narrative stating that you'd like to defer the credit review until the construction phase because the documentation is not complete. Or, you can choose not to submit anything for SSc1 until the construction phase review. In either case you'll get two full rounds of review during the construction phase. I'm not aware of a fee that would be imposed.

I am coming in late here, but if asbestos (and being remediated) is found within the project scope/LEED boundary of the LEED-CI project, you can go for SSc1, Option 2 path 1, right? Our project is located within a large building occupying one floor going for LEED-CI and the owner will be doing a lot of asbestos remediation work within the space before construction. I was thinking it could be an ID credit, but this does make sense to put under SSc1, I think I originally read this credit wrong so just wanted to clarify.
Thanks,
Courtney
