Walkability - Services AND housing, or Services only?

NC-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity
posted by  Stacey Olson  on 

We have a project campus that is a quarter of a mile from a residential community, however a freeway prevents direct walkable access between the two. We have access to over 10 basic services.

Campus bike rakes

NC-2009 SSc4.2:Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
posted by  Stacey Olson  on 

My understanding is that with a campus project, the bike racks simply need to be located within the campus (or 200' from the campus). Is that correct?

My building is aiming to be LEED EBOM Silver and received a preliminary audit from PG&E in 2011 which resulted in a score of 80 in Energy Star Portfolio (or 9 LEED points).

In a new construction, which is an Office building, does it count reusing signed artworks and antiques that were existing in the old building?

What about furniture?

NC-2009 MRc3:Materials Reuse
posted by  Nelina Loiselle  on 

If instead of purchasing new furniture for the new buidling if we re-use the furniture from the old building will that qualify? Assuming we are counting furniture across MR credits.

LEED Forms not Calculating correctly.

Schools-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance
posted by  BEN MONROE  on 

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in EC1. This is for a LEED-S 2009 renovation project with an addition. We have updated our energy model input based on the initial design review comments.

posted by  J W  on 

We have documented 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.6 by alternative compliance using NC 2009 rules. At the bottom of the form it only shows that I have documented 1 point. Any ideas?
