A client is asking me if it's possible to upgrade his already completed CI silver project to a Gold level, still under the CI certification system. They indeed want to engage some improvement and small retrofit in order to achieve that level. Is it actually possible to stay under the same certification system? It's not really clear for me if an already completed project can still go for CI, or if EBOM should be considered.
Thanks for your help on this one!

Valentin, check out the rating system selection guide.http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=6667This says that a CI project should have a fit out going on in at least 60% of the certifying gross floor area.

Has anyone actually done this recertification? Our client is also asking for certification upgrade. They are having some renovation done for the envelope of the building that was not part of the original refurbishment and also some major tenant changes that will affect a big part of the interior areas as well. For example PV systems and green roof will be installed and they would be going from Gold to Platinum quite easily. Is this technically possible and how far apart should the certifications be or does it matter?
