Inquiry
Our project is an Army standard Company Operations Facility (COF) which consists of office and warehouse modules. The Army standard design for this building type requires both the office and warehouse modules, and while these components are typically combined under one roof, the standard allows for a detached configuration based on site conditions and user preference. For this project, the detached configuration will be used with a conditioned warehouse module detached from (but adjacent to) the office module. In accordance with the Army Standard for COF facilities, the warehouse module is not permitted to have restroom facilities since they are provided in the office module and the Army mandates the consolidation of plumbing fixtures in one location. The absence of dedicated toilets or fixtures in the warehouse module may prevent it from meeting the Water Efficiency prerequisite 1 under LEED NC if registered as a standalone building. Can the separate office and warehouse modules for this project be registered as one building?
