[bldg-sim] LEED Credit EA-1 Modeling question

[Mike Tillou]

Hi all,

I have aLEED EA-1 question that I am hoping someone has had to deal with
previously.

I am looking at a potential LEED project that involves the extensive
renovation of an existing building and the construction of a new
addition.  The existing building is three floors (15,000 sq.ft.) and the
new addition will be two stories (4,000 sq.ft.).  

I am wondering how USGBC is currently dealing with projects that
incorporate renovation and addition.  At what point is a project still
considered an existing building allowing the use of the Existing
Building savings percentages?  I cannot seem to find a discussion about
it in the NC 2.1 User's Manual.  

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
