Dear all,
Hope you are doing well.
This is the first time I am working on existing factory, so I have couple question which I am not sure these questions belong to which credit/ prerequisite. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The questions are:
1. Do LEED requires all buildings must have fully mechanically-ventilated spaces (except for toilet blocks)?
2. Water cooling systems in sheds with 50m+ dimension do not comply with LEED. Is it correct?
3. The project have 12 buildings, but owner just want to do LEED EBOM for 2 buildings among 12. Is it possible to get LEED only for these 2 buildings?
Thank you for your time and support.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Hanh,
I hope this helps:
1. In v4, all projects need to be mechanically ventilated, even when they have operable windows.
2. If your factory has a water cooling system housed in a separate building (shed), this building will probably count as "not certifiable", since there will be zero FTE users. It doesn't mean that you cannot certify other buildings in the factory campus.
3. Of course, you can certify only 2 of them.
