Hello,
We are currently preparing our project for final review, and realized that that we drew our project boundary in such a way that disqualifies us from SSc8. We need this credit to reach Gold, and are therefore considering redrawing the boundary so that the light trespass stays within the 10' allowable boundary. This won't negatively affect other credits (some of which were already approved), but we are concerned that GBCI will disqualify us for redrawing the boundary in order to gain a point.
The reference guide states you can't gerrymander to "exclude" portions of the site, but we want to INCLUDE more of the site. Do you think they will accept our redrawing of the project boundary?
A speedy reply would be much appreciated!
Best,
C.G.

CM, as long as you are following the principles in terms of drawing your LEED boundary, i.e. including land within your construction scope and supporting the building activities, and not overreaching in a way that isn't compatible with that, I don't see any issue.
