Hi, I currently have a project which consists of a 10-story building with 2 adjacent buildings. one with a single story and the other one with 2. They are all connected with bridges. These 3 buildings are found on a single site, have the same owner and management (ITESM University), and will share systems. My question would be whether if they can be treated as a single project under the same registration and rating. Since the USGBC is yet to release the AGMBC part 2, this is not clear to me. Help, please!

Diana, I think your answer will lie in the LEED Minimum Program Requirements. Particularly check out the guidance on attached buildings. Post back here with additional thoughts and questions.

Hi Tristan, So according to MPR Supplement Guidance, these 3 buildings have to be registered separately, am I correctly?

We have a CS project which has two architecturally distinctive buildings but sharing the same underground car park; mechanically they are separate as well, as the owner is going to sell them floor by floor, and each floor has a small chilled water system (there is no central chiller plant). Both MPR and AGMBC are very vague on this, please help.
