We are planning to apply the LEED for campuses overlay to a small series of spec office buildings , 5 buildings total, all 10,000 sq. ft. and under. We will be building out one suite in a single building as a sample for potential tenants to view , the remaining buildings will be exterior shell only, no interiors. We plan to treat the series of buildings as a single entity by following the guidelines in the campuses overlay . We anticipate counting LEED credits for the interior of the built-out suite as contributing to the entire project. Is this an acceptable approach?
The applicant is asking whether the materials used in the build-out of the sample suite may be used for LEED credits across the entire project. These materials may be used for LEED-CS certification, as they are clearly within the scope of the developer. However, only the materials in the sample suite(s) may be included. No assumptions should be made that these same materials will be used in the future tenant build-outs of any other areas of the buildings. Applicable Internationally.
