Dear all,
I am working on a LEED CS 2009 project on a 2009 Master site. Our ambition is that the next up coming project is to be a v4 project. Now the question is: can a v4 project be certified on a 2009 master site? Or do we have to "re-do" the master site which at this stage is not the preferred option, as the 2009 project is not certified yet.

Hi Edwin, Unfortunately, since many of the v4 credits differ from the v3 credits that would be found in the score card of your presently-registered Master Site, the only way to use the campus approach for LEED v4 projects on the same site would be to register a new v4 Master Site to accommodate them. Presently, you cannot add v4 credits to a v3 Master Site's scorecard or vice versa. Please note that the existing v3 master site would still be useful for your presently-registered CS v3 project and any other v3 projects you might be planning to build within that LEED campus boundary. Furthermore, use of the campus (aka master site) approach is optional; so, you could just elect to certify the v4 project on the merits of its own LEED project boundary and forgo the use of the campus approach with that project.
