Can a building without a core HVAC systems be certified under LEED CS? For example, a two story building with a 6,500 ft2 footprint per floor.

Any idea how many hospitals were rated using LEED 2009 and the older versions ?

Hello, The project I am working on consists of a tower with subterranean spaces that lie beyond the tower's footprint.

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".
