Good afternoon,
We have an unusual campus project in which the majority of the project renovation and new construction is in the basement. (13,981sf renovated + 3,176sf new construction= basement footprint 15,931sf). Ground level LEED boundary is 11,960sf (and predominantly landscape).

While inserting P1f2 data, we became confused about how one establishes total site area for the LEED project boundary. Is it the boundary on ground level site (11,960sf)? ..or, is it the basement footprint plus additional landscape area outside of the basement footprint?

Additionally, as the basement is excavated beyond the ground level interventions, this has implications on our interpretation of the hardscape outside of the building footprint.

Thanks ahead of time for any insights. This is a new one for us.
Best,
Sherri
