Project eligibility

I'm not convinced that this qualifies as a distinct space according to the MPRs, which require a distinction either in ownership,  management, lease, or party wall separation. Being a large room with separate HVAC doesn't seem to meet that measure.But to get to your question, I don't know of any specific cutoff that would prevent you from certifying the space, as regards construction date.Whether or not it's really advisable or feasible from a documentation standpoint would be the key question in my mind. Last week I was talking with an engineer who had certified an NC project, with his involvement beginning just before it was to start construction. He said this was very difficult and he wouldn't really advise it.Think of all the documentation you have to pull together, from multiple people, for something that happened months ago, maybe half a year or more by the time you get a lot of it done. And, what is the environmental benefit? If you're not using LEED to guide the D&C process, then it seems like much of the point is missed.Why not get the owner to do a LEED-EBOM certification on the whole building, and support that?Other thoughts? Reactions?
