LEED CI -PI FORMS

For our project which is aiming LEED CI, is a floor in an office building , and the building itself is part of a bigger complex comprising of 5 buildings in all. The PI 1 form has ITEM 4 stating " Any land that was or will be disturbed for the purpose of undertaking the LEED project is included within the LEED project boundary". Relating to the statement above , As the project is just a small part of a huge campus where the car park and other facilities are common to all 5 buildings, is it correct to say that we register the LEED project boundary only to the floor of that 1 building that we are aiming to work on? The statement of the PI form is a bit confusing. Further in the same PI 1 form , ITEM 7 states "The Gross floor area of the LEED project building is no less than 2% of the gross land area within the LEED project boundary". In case we register the only 1 floor as LEED boundary, the above statement does not hold true because then the LEED project building floor area ( i.e. 1 building of the campus ) will definitely have more area than the LEED project boundary ( i.e. 1 floor of the that 1 building). Please advice.

I think the PI form for CI seems to be meant for NC rather than commercial interior- and I would appreciate it if LEEDuser could have an instruction page for these forms- there is no help in the Reference Guides....

For a CI project, it makes sense for the LEED boundary to be the floor you are certifying and the associated number of parking spaces.
