If your project finds contamination on site during construction, does remediation have to be complete before the LEED design application can be submitted?

On a previous LEED for Schools 2009 project I was sucessful in not including the space occupied by built-in casework in the occupied square footage of a space.

The Reference Guide states that the final step to certification occurs when "certificates of occupancy for buildings...have been issued..." Does this mean that 100% of the buildings must be constru

We have a mixed use project with several buildings on it, from which one of them will apply for LEED-CS certification.

In the past GBCI has stated as a side note: "For future projects, please note that occupancy sensors alone are not an acceptable form of lighting control".

We have a project that is an addition to an existing school. The existing classrooms are included in the LEED boundary, but they have only had minor updates of mechanical systems.

There has been much talk that warehouses with heating-only (no cooling) must still model a cooling system in the baseline and proposed case, since the space is defined as conditioned.
