EBOM-2009 MRc3:Sustainable Purchasing—Facility Alterations and Additions

Area Under Construction

For the LEED Online form, one of the last sections asks you to explain what alterations and additions were done to the building and give a value for the floor area under construction. I understand that the purpose of this section is to show that a significant amount of work was done to warrant points for this credit (this isn't exactly my concern). If our building had all new exterior siding and a new roof, how would I go about calculating this? Would it be 100% of the floor area because 100% of the roof is new? How can I calculate area for work done on the perimeter of the building?

 

Thank you.

If a percentage number helps explain the extent of the work that's been done go ahead and use it, but if only adds confusion than I wouldn't worry about it.  As long as you explain the work done to the roof and siding in the box for general description of the work, such as "100% of the roof was replaced" or "50% of the siding was repaired" that's what matters. Or if one floor of a 5-story building is renovated, that might be "20% of the building."
