the building is 11 stories with an atrium. The tenant is taking part of 1, all of 2, part of 3, all of 4, NONE OF 5, half of 6 and all of 7. So 8, 9, 10 and 11 are above all the space-my question is what if you had shown that 3 story building with the first and third floor the tenant-that is what i have -the 5th floor between the others-i am assuming that is ok because it is the same tenant, same owner, same building, etc-right?

For my project it's 1st & 6th floors. I've just relied on the requirement: “The LEED project scope must include a complete interior space distinct from other spaces within the same building with regards to at least one of the following characteristics: ownership, management, lease, or party wall separation.” So even though it's "physically" 2 separate spaces, the combined, is a "complete interior space" with regards to the lease. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Had no problems registering the project; it's currently under preliminary review.

hi Charles,
How did your Preliminary review go? Did USGBC accepted your approach? Any do's and don't to share?
Your reply will be very useful as i am in similiar situation. My client will be occupying level 3 and level 8 and wish to acheive LEED certification.
and wondering whether one registration is acceptable?
Thanks

Ameet AA, the two floors were reviewed and certified as one project (Platinum). As long as you have the same owner or lessee occupying both spaces, it meets the definition of a separate distinct space.
