I am working on 14,000sq ft 8 story historic high profile project in NYC that is keeping almost 100% of the exterior skin and framing but is removing almost all of the structural floor and roof decking in the renovation.
Is there any chance at this credit since the language says floors "and " envelope?

In the interior was deemd to be structurally unfit for your new application, you might be able to get away with demolition.

The building has thick exterior masonry walls which have been retained vs thin slabs that were demolished in order to make new new floor heights.We are inquiring as to weather we may explore an alternative compliance path considering volume of the retained building fabric vs demolition?
