My company is going to be a tenant in a new space where will not have the capability to increase/introduce humidity as we are tying into the Building Management System.

Hi there, I am unsure what is meant by one specialty trade. I have a project that is considering re carpeting about half of their building, which is a substantial alteration. Would this not count?

Hi There, Clients wants to attain LEED for Silver Certification for its Villa. Note that the Villa is 4500 sqm and meets the minimum floor area requirement.

We have a very large site (609 acres), a lot of which is non-buildable land (open space, wetlands, slopes).

Dear LEED User Team.

Nadav does a great job here in laying out the issues and problems with the USA Today article.

I'm wondering what performance period would be acceptable for calculating the leakage rate (lbs of refrigerant added and over what time frame) for this credit.

Please, I'd like to know the design credits and prerequisites for Healthcare v 2009. Thanks

What if your CS building scope does not include HVAC equipment (and therefore no refrigerants)? USGBC requires the entire building to meet this prereq (including tenant spaces).
