Our office is working on a job similar to this. For the existing 
building we are retrofitting and adjacent to the retrofit is the new 
construction of the same size. For our purposes LEED-EB made the most 
sense for the existing structure and LEED-NC is being used for the new 
construction. The USGBC allows this and may also provide insight for you 
and your specific site/context.

Good Luck.
