Registering a group project
Is a campus or master site registration necessary to register a group project?
No, a group project can be registered without a campus or master site. However, a group project can also be registered within a master site as a campus group project.
What are the fees for using the Group Approach?
As noted on our certification fees page, registration, precertification review, and certification review fees for group projects are calculated per building. Precertification and certification review fees receive a 20% discount from standard LEED BD+C, ID+C, or O+M rates. Appeals and formal inquiry fees are charged per credit, not per building or space.
If a ID+C project involves multiple, non-contiguous spaces within a single building, does it need to use the Group Approach to seek certification as a single project?
No. Multiple interior spaces may be included within a single ID+C individual project registration as long as they are all contained within a single building, as noted in the related FAQ "Can I certify multiple, non-contiguous spaces within a single building under one LEED v4 ID+C individual project registration?" on Minimum Program Requirements. However, if an ID+C project involves interior spaces located in separate buildings, it would have to use the Group Approach explained in the LEED Campus Guidance.
Group project credits and documentation
How do I complete and submit separate forms for each building in a group project for those credits where it is indicated that you must submit separate documentation for each building?
For group projects with credits where HTML (web-based) form functionality has been implemented, teams can still follow a similar approach, but for Step 2 please use the PDF-based forms available through the sample forms page of our website to make additional, editable, and upload-able copies of credit forms. This is because the HTML-based forms lose functionality and are not editable once they are saved in PDF format.
