Tristan Roberts Representative Vermont House of Representatives LEEDuser Expert 11477 thumbs up October 8, 2010- 12:52 pm It sounds like you're going for Option 2, requiring two bus lines, and you have five buslines but only one is daily.I'm wondering if you can line up the schedule grids for the five buslines and show that on any given day/time (or at least for the vast majority of times), there are at least two bus lines operating in the area. Might this approach work? Log in or register to post comments ...

Ted Mendoza LEEDuser Basic Member 26 thumbs up October 6, 2010- 9:27 pm Dan, thanks for your input. I got a budget number agreeable to owner. I decided not to spend a whole lot of time/energy in it, but it is a good ballpark number to use. thx for your help! Log in or register to post comments ...

Melanie Harris Project Manager HOK LEEDuser Basic Member 10 thumbs up October 6, 2010- 10:00 am Thanks! That is what I thought. There has been a further development in the project that makes it a little more complicated. We just found out that only 54 of the 102 spaces in the parking lot are intended for the dining facility. The remaining are existing spaces (used by an existing building) that are being demolished, re-configured and re-built by our contractor as a part of the dining facility lot. I am assuming this would mean that the dining facility includes the 54 spaces in their boundary...

Depends on whaty you're looking for, but I think there's a lot of variation in ready-mix plants. Why do you ask? Looking for something particular? LEED ...

When referring to ISO, does this credit require a new program or just highlight an existing practice that is not covered by LEED? Somewhere along the lines of regular measurement and monitoring of air quality, waste water quality, and occupational noise. This brings direct benefit to the users, and may be considered something that LEED does not cover in this much detail. IOc1 ...

within a "campus?" If so, then my question relates to the same sort of situation. We have two parking lots, one for exclusive in-plant use and one that employees use when they come to work. We are considering both parking lots as hardscape (for heat island effects), but when it comes to zoning requirements, they hardly seem to apply to the within-plant spaces. We have good things happening...

Case 1 sounds like NC, Major renovation. Case 2 would likely be NC if the remaining 70% is to be occupied by the owner in the future, since they will control the build-out. If that remaining space is to leased to other tenants who will control their own tenant improvement build-out, then the project would be Core and Shell. Look at CS Appendix 3 in the BD&C Reference Guide for guidance on how to define the finished/ unfinished spaces. Since these answers depends a lot on percentages of project area that are effected by different scopes of work such as finishes, HVAC, and envelope, the most useful...

This is in reference to LEED CS v2.0 2006. The project is built up to the plot line, therefore the only opportunity for landscaping is to have a Green Roof. The Design Team wants to investigate if by ommitting landscaping on the project (hence no irrigation), does it meet the intent of the credit to "Limit and eliminate the use of potable water.....for landscape irrigation"? Would the project achieve both WEc1.1 and WEc1.2 with no landscaping? WEc1 ...

The LEED review process has moved away from auditing selected credits in greater detail as was practiced under NC 2.1. The LEED Review teams continue to ask for clarifications as part of the Design Phase Review and the Construction Phase Reviews, especially if the submitted documentation is unclear, ambiguous, or conflicts with documentation submitted for other credits. In some cases, if the project team's responses to those requests for clarification are not clear or don't supply the information requested, credits have been denied. It can save a lot of wasted time and anguish to respond...
