LEED Guidance for Campuses and Multiple Buildings

Any rules for certifying attached buildings as one building?

Hello All, We have two buildings which are attached on the first level (park and some shops). Management and mechanical systems are seperate. Can we certify two buildings as one building because they are connected on the first level? Thank you very much.

Seems like a 'yes' to me Aaron. If the buildings share the same base, they physical attachment seems unquestionable. Separate mechanical systems shouldn't be a problem from a certification standpoint. Things get a bit more interesting if management is in fact separate, but I don't think you'd be asking the question if you hadn't already figured out a solution to that challenge. Hope that helps, Dan
