Hi there. We have a client that has 6 projects of buildings to be constructed at different location. But all this 6 projects are the same. I´d like to know if it´s possible to get any advantages from this similarity of the projects. I´ve looked at this AGMBC but seems like we cannot fit them into Group certification. Is there any other way to get the credits for them all at once?

Hi Henrique, Unfortunately, if the buildings are not all located on a shared site/campus, the AGMBC would not be applicable (see requirement at top of pg 5 of the AGMBC document: http://www.usgbc.org/Docs/Archive/General/Docs10486.pdf). Though it would not make sense in this case either, it is worth mentioning for future reference that the LEED Volume program (http://www.usgbc.org/leed/certification/programs/volume) is intended to help streamline documentation and certification costs for multiple buildings of a similar type even if they are located on separate sites. That program only starts to become cost-effective when there are at least 25 projects (bldgs) or more involved. If you'd like to provide more details regarding this project via the Contact page of usgbc.org, we may be able to provide you with some additional suggestions or assistance.

Thank you! I´ll take a look at the LEED Volume program for future references.
