Building Reuse: Maintain 50% of Interior Non-Structural Elements

LEED 2.2 Requirements:

Use existing interior non-structural elements (interior walls, doors, floor coverings and ceiling systems) in at least 50% (by area) of the completed building (including additions). If the project includes an addition to an existing building, this credit is not applicable if the square footage of the addition is more than 2 times the square footage of the existing building.

Submittals (CONSTRUCTION):

- Provide the existing building area (sq. ft.).
- Confirm whether the project is strictly a renovation of an existing building or a renovation with an addition. For projects with additions, confirm the square footage of the new addition(s).
- Provide a tabulation of the total and reused areas (sq. ft.) of each interior non-structural element. AND (For Projects With Special Circumstances)
- Provide an optional narrative to describe any additional comments or notes regarding special circumstances or considerations regarding the project's credit approach.
