FAQs about SSc1 :

Do SSc1 paths pertain to the whole building or just your own space? What if our own space meets one of the SSc1 paths but the whole building does not?

What if my base building is LEED registered and not yet certified—can I still earn five points under SSc1?

Is exemplary performance available for this credit, in addition to the five points?

CI-2009 SSc1:Site Selection

Has anyone experienced a LEED

Has anyone experienced a LEED CI in a building that is under LEED CS final certification? The question is: can I register a LEED CI and obtain the LEED CI final certification even if the whole building in under LEED CS certification?

Hi Alessio, Your project may pursue and achieve LEED-CI certification in a building that is certified or is pursuing certification under LEED-CS. However, if the base building has not earned LEED-CS certification at the time of the CI submittal, the CI project cannot achieve points under SSc1: Site Selection - Option 1, Select a LEED Certified Building.

I second Samantha on that. If you want to claim points for locating in a LEED building you will need the building's certification done. At the latest you can submit that during the final construction review.

LEED-CS certification does not have to be complete to register the LEED-CI project.

Alessio, you don't have to be in a LEED certified building or a building undergoing LEED certification in order to LEED certify a space under LEED CI. If you want to get the points under SS c1 the above applies.

Followup question: Where does LEED Neighborhood development come into play? I havea building being constructed by a developer in an urban neighborhood. Can i get option 1 when developer files for ND instead of CS?

Maybe there is an CIR which might allow you to do that, but without an CIR this is still a no. Check the LEED interpretation database or you can always submit a CIR yourself. I would think it's following the intent of the credit, but that's just my interpretation.
