We have a multi industrial building project (3 buildings) registered through a Campus Approach (as opposed to Group approach).

Core and shell building’s energy

Dear All,

We are doing a LEEDv4 CS project. For applying this credit, we need to engage 50%-100% (1-2 points) of total energy to be addressed by green power, REC and or offsets.

Hi,

Can you please provide som insight as to what "utility service area" refers to? Within the city limits or is there another way to define this a bit clearer.

Kind regards
