Two projects, we've received the following comment: "Note that LEED Interpretation 10098 allows for a portion of the entryway system to be located outside of the building, if covered, but only when there are physical impediments to including the entire entryway system indoors; physical impediments are typically only considered valid for remodeled buildings." Question: Where does the statement "...typically only considered valid for remodeled buildings" come from?

Perhaps it comes from "is thoroughly justified" in IE 10098. I'm not surprised by this comment. Exceptions are designed for instances where it really isn't possible to meet the credit requirement through design, but there is a work around that still meets the intent. The reviewers often have interpretations for common situations that aren't written explicitly in the rating system.
