My question isn\'t necessarily about Credit 4.2. It\'s mostly about the definition of the site boundary. I have reviewed previous CIRs and from that I learned the site definition needs to be consistent with all credits.My project is two adjacent buildings which will be certified separately; their construction schedules are the same.Here\'s my question. If there are showers in one building does the second building need showers also? It is within 200 yards of other building. Again, both buildings are seeking LEED certification and their schedules are the same.A second related question relates to SS Credit 6.1. We\'re considering a cistern. Do both buildings need one to get the credit for both? Obviously if we only install one cistern to handle both buildings the cistern will be outside the site boundary for one of the buildings. Or do we need to install a cistern for each building so that cistern is located within site boundary for both?
The showers in one of your project buildings can be included in the credit calculations for both buildings, assuming the showers are within 200 yards of the entrance to the adjacent building. To demonstrate achievement for both LEED projects, be sure to demonstrate that the number of showers supports the occupancy for both buildings combined. The same logic applies to features such as a stormwater cistern. If the cistern is constructed to serve the needs of the building/site area in question, it can count towards credit achievement. Essentially it is appropriate to consider your project a campus situation and share infrastructure, as long as each building meets the performance requirements. Applicable Internationally.
