Inquiry

We are certifying a new manufacturing building on an existing site that currently has a manufacturing building and a parking lot for the staging of tractor truck trailers. Construction of the new manufacturing new building required that the trailer parking lot be relocated to another part of the site. The trailer parking lot relocation was completed before breaking ground for the new building. Would it be appropriate to consider the relocation of this trailer storage parking lot a separate project and to draw our LEED project boundary for the new certified manufacturing building to exclude both the relocated trailer storage area parking lot and the existing manufacturing building? We would use this boundary consistently across all Sustainable Site credits. (SSc5, SSc6 and SSc7)
