Can LEED-C&S be used for a distribution center that is design and constructed by the global construction group of a major product manufacturer with the operations and maintenance being controlled by the local arm of the same corporation? The local arm will have no control over design and construction and will only "take over" (same role as a tenant) when construction is completed. The two groups are independent of each other but owner is the same. Would it be based on how we fill out Appendix 3?

Hi Kath.. You have probably moved on by now, but if not: my recommendation would be to submit a letter from the owners or main points of contact explaining the situation and confirming the local owner has the ultimate end of project control. To me, it should clearly outline the relationship and provide a signatory affidavit of sorts.
