Dear All, In the LEED MPR, it states that carpark areas cannot be part of the calculated GFA of a project submitting for LEED. I have submitting a building with a very large multilevel carpark, and have modelled the entire building with carpark for proposed and baseline energy simulation. Hence the GFA in my energy model will differ from the GFA stated in the LEED template ( which does not include the large carpark). How do we reconcile this? Hoping for some help

There is a table in the EAp2 form where you input the square footage of the various areas in the project. You break down the building into occupied and unoccupied square feet. This should be enough to explain the difference if the square footage values in the overall submission have been coordinated.
