Hi. Two brand new hotels in Boston in conceptual design now, one is 200,000 sf, the other is 150,000 sf. They are separated by a street (also owned by the developer). Although they are very similar, there are some differences. It seems silly to have to do two separate LEED submissions, can I combine them as one LEED NC 2009 project? or will I need to do the LEED multiple building/ Campus application?

Looks more appropriate for MB application as they are clearly separated envelopes. You still benefit by sharing group/campus level submittals, especially if sharing energy.

Jay, a LEED-NC certification is basically meant to be attached to a single, whole building. For more on that, see MPR3.You could potentially streamline your effort by referring to the AGMBC (Google it to find out what I mean), but USGBC hasn't quite come out with the AGMBC Part II tools that would realize this potential, although I expect them within a few months.
