I have a building located in a campus. Only the office tower is undergoing LEED certification but all 3 area being built concurrently. Basement is shared but clearly demarcated to each building, buildings have separate owners. I recently discovered that all the waste for the site is being calculated, not just the waste from the office tower. I suspect this credit will be approved, since the methodology of collection is OK, but I just want to see if anyone has had experience submitting waste additional to the project building.

Melissa - While it is laudable that you are hopefully diverting a lot of the waste from the landfill for all three projects, the total waste does not reflect your LEED project's waste alone.
See my response (http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/MRc2?all-comments=true#comment-57828) under the heading Construction Waste Management-Multiple Buildings below for a similar post on this subject.

I should have updated this: our LEED reviewers agreed with you. They required us to separate out the waste for this project only and not to use a pro-rata method. Thanks!
