Our project contains a new LEED Building (addition) and Non-LEED Building (Existing, not in LEED Boundary). The school is looking into cross-tying the DDC controls (only) for the HVAC system for both portions in the new LEED Building. Is this accpetable per LEED as long as the 2 buildings have independendent energy use? There will be no energy impact here.

Yes, I would say so. If you already have the understanding that the addition can be certified by itself and comply with the MPRs, then I don't see how some control integration would really change the picture that much.
