1. In calculating the gross floor area of an office located in a building with curtain walls, would the measurement be taken from the exterior face of the curtain wall?

I am working on a project that already has a building located on the site. We are adding a new building addition to the site.

ASHRAE is not specific about deducting for floor openings. For cost estimating and code review, we normally deduct elevator shafts and stairwells.

In the initial 3 rows of questions after GSF (new construction, existing renovated and existing unrenovated), does the form want us to state during lifetime of building, or during one year LEED per

Im sure this is addressed somewhere but my apologies I haven't found this info. When summarizing building square footage for PIf2, do outdoor balconies (of upper floors) need to be included?

I submitted a project for D&C review. The project is a 25,000 SF addition to an already LEED certified building of 60,000 SF.

Our project that has been submitted for certification was completed in early 2012. The project was built exactly as it was submitted for the LEED review.

building has a green roof that is also a courtyard. originally, another staff member excluded this area from total square footage. to me this seems incorrect?

We are currently working out our FTE's for a 30 storey office building (Core and Shell project)that includes a small area designated as amenity.

I am working on the office project and have a little hard time determining building footprint.
