Reynaldo, can you clarify what you have in mind? What records are you keeping, and for what purpose?

Thomas, it sounds to me like certifying the completed project (after Phase III) makes the most sense. Interrupting the flow of things seems like it adds more hassle.

Would this be the appropriate credit to pursue the move and reuse of a structure?

We are interested in pursuing an ID credit for our new building's onsite renewable energy, namely our PV system.

1) On my current project, we have an office room which has three work stations, served by one thermostat, one diffuser and no operable window.

Emma, this is a LEED-EBOM project? I don't see how registration is an issue. Are you worried about performance period timing?
