Omer, which rating system were you thinking of? We can give some feedback on your thoughts.Also, are you saying that the shop next door will become connected and all part of the same building?

Tristan, The project is a renovation of an old gas station. There is mechanic shop and a convenience store within the same building. The client wants to take mechanical shop off the business and use this space as an extension of the existing store. The shell of the building will remain same but the interior walls and HVAC system will change. I am thinking of LEED NC, but not sure if LEED CI applies to my case because it is not a new construction.

Omer, Sounds like LEED Retail - try the Rating System Selection Guidance at http://new.usgbc.org/leed/certification/guidance and see if it's Retail -NC/ Major Renovation or Retail -CI.

David, Thanks for the advice. You are right, it is LEED Retail New Construction/Major Renovation. Thank you,
