First thought - you probably need to treat this as three separate LEED projects under v3. Go read the minimum program requirements. ASHRAE 90.1 defines residential as "spaces in buildings used primarily for living and sleeping." By that definition I don't think your buildings are residential.

I would look at registering the three projects as a "block" in LEED Online. I haven't done this so I don't know exactly how it works, but I think it would make sense here.

One more question, have you noticed that the simulation will much easier to achieve full points by comparing packaged terminal air conditioner to VAV?

Not sure I understand your question. In my experience it would be easier to show improvements against PTACs (ASHRAE system #1) than against packaged VAV (system #5).
