Hi all, Our project is an addition to a school - LEED NC. The addition has separate mechanical systems and a firewall that separates it from the existing building (non LEED certified). We will be disturbing the site all around the existing non-LEED building, so my understanding is we need to include the existing building in 'ALL relevant credits and prerequisites', unless somebody has some insight!?.. My main question is; what does 'ALL relevant credits and prerequisites' mean?......(e.g. do I include the FTEs for the addition and existing building? etc.). Does it just mean site related credits and prerequisites? Thanks in advance

Padraic, "relevant credits" means that you don't need to document the sidewalk in IEQp1, but you do in IEQc7.1.As a side note, I think you should review the MPR3 guidance and possibly exclude the existing building from the boundary (like a donut hole).
