We are undertaking the space inventory in advance of our audit. The building is a +/- 1,000,000 sf office tower. I'm wondering if the audit needs to include the loading dock area.

I am looking for guidance on how to count stairwells in the APPA Custodial audit. We have 3 stairwells, and 10 floors. Case A: Does each stairwell count as a single "room"?

The project is going for re-certification and in the previous certification, this credit was awarded. My client is again opting for a third party auditor.

Hi there, I am working on LEED certification for an office building that has environmental labs.

Our client follows ISO 90001 audit guidelines (and has for years). The site team does an internal audit once a month, and conducts an ISO 90001 audit once a year.

It appears that the guidelines references in the LEED 2009 manual have now been revised and are no longer available.

I am working on a building that includes a machine shop on the first floor that accounts for more than 10% of the total building area. Does the shop need to be included in the APPA audit?

We have a building that is not pursuing EQ3.1 because they're having trouble getting some tenants who use their own cleaning contractor on board with the building's approach.

I'd like to share a recent reviewer comment. If we had not already achieved more than 60 points, I would have appealed this ruling, but it's not worth my time at this point.
