CS-2009 MRc1:Building Reuse—Maintain Existing Walls, Floors and Roof

Documentation Requirements

In the LEED User documentation toolkit they describe using elevations to verify the exisiting / new calculations. I can see how these would be necessary for calculating surface areas, but as best I can tell they are not an upload requirement for LEED documentation. Is it something the LEED reviewer sometimes requests? I am trying to anticipate how "presentation worthy" our surface area studies need to be. Thanks.

Hi Robyn, Sometimes the easiest way to think about this is to look at it from the reviewer's perspective. For the reviewer, they have a relatively short amount of time to understand the intricacies of a building that they've never seen or thought about before. The drawings that you submit are the prime communication tool that they reviewer has to rely on. As such, yes- elevations are critical, as are full sets of plans, site plan, and a photo or rendering. Don't worry about your elevations being all glossy- whatever you used to communicate with your contractor or client is usually just fine for communicating with a reviewer.

Robyn, You would provide the elevations under the Project Information Form 4 section, along with your other general project docs like floor plans, site plans, sections, narratives, etc.
