It was very interesting to find this credit source. We are going after platinum status for the renovation of the abandoned Guam Legislature. We are knocking ourselves out to get Exemplary points and have secured five on paper, however now that we understand that there is a limit of three points, it wont change our approach but if there is a historic option that would be a far more appropriate approach.
The Guam Congress Building was constructed in 1948 in the bombed out center of the capital of Guam, Hagatna. It served as the seat of the Legislature untill 1990 when it was partially demolished as part of an extensive expansion which was them abnandoned. So the building has been un occupied for 20 plus years.
Our project is the complete restoration of the original public spaces in the building and the addition of office support areas. The restoration of the Session Halls and the central Lobby and galleries, 8000 sq ft, will maintain the highest fidelity to the original possible, this includes the dismantling and rebuilding of all existing woodwork, ceiling work, and some furniture.
Anyway, I would think we are right on track for this credit and I would like to know how to proceed. We are the project for this approach.

Hi Richard - This seems like a great use of this building! Your next step would be to register to test the pilot credit at www.usgbc.org/pilotcreditlibrary and further guidance will be given to you there.
