LEED BD+C: New Construction

Rating System Version

v2 - LEED 2.2

Inquiry

Our project is located within the property boundaries of a major resort and gaming property. The new construction registered for LEED Certification is comprised of a hotel tower and an adjacent convention center. In order to reduce heat islands, the Owners have decided not to add parking on site near the new construction project. The two new structures will utilize the existing parking garage for visitors and employees. The existing parking garage is a 6 story open air structure, with the roof being a parking level. The Project team will apply for SSc4.4 under the fourth option, Provide No New Parking. Parking for the new structures will be located within the existing adjacent garage. The Project Team also intends to submit documentation for SSc7.1, under the covered parking option. The lower 5 floors of the garage (83% of the spaces) will be covered parking. Please verify that the Project Team can be awarded points for both SSc4.4 by providing no new parking, as well as SSc7.1 for having greater than 83% of existing parking under roof.
