The baseline U-values proposed by ASHRAE 90.1-2007 for a building with high thermal mass in climate zone 1 (see below extracted from table 5.5-1) seem to be too low-performing. Are these correct?

I think group certification would be a good option for my two identical (mirrored) buildings on the same property with the same owner.

Our project's parking goes beyond the LEED boundary, since it is a mixed used building with several towers and only one of them will apply for LEED certification.

Has anyone experienced reviewers comments on Leveling Compounds or is the application more geared towards flooring systems?

The grade at our project drops considerably, allowing for conditioned space below a green roof and paved areas.
