Our project team shows a recent update (Aug 11, 2011) requiring the purchase of green power to account for the "building" not the tenant space. Is anyone aware of a change in the requirement for LEED CI projects to account for the building rather than the tenant space?

Thomas, what update are you referring to? I am not aware of it. There was an 11/3/2010 addenda that actually clarified this credit as applying to the tenant space, not the building.

I am wondering the same thing. When you work in the EAc4 LEED CI template, it is pulling the entire building sf to satisfy the 8 kWh/sf requirement, not the remodeled portion sf.
Anyone?

Just bumping this as I have gotten no response from GBCI. The issue I am having is that if I have to purchase for 100% of the building sf, as the template is making me do, the remodel is only 20%. And the client I am purchasing for right now wants to do a second remodel in part of the remaining 80% of the building- if they buy it for the whole building, can they count it again for that project as well?

I have not experienced it but if you think the form is in error state that in the narrative regarding special circumstances and then upload the correct calculations. Check the special circumstances box under additional details to get this narrative box and upload button to appear.
Also make sure you are using the most recent version of the credit form which appears to be v3.0.
