Dean asks: I wanted some advice as to which LEED rating to use for the following healthcare building project in the Philippines: A single owner (a group of doctors) want to build an Hospital Annex to existing Hospital. They want to design and construct a five story building to be completely watertight and install the basic base building core components (elevators, Air Con systems, plumbing risers, electrical Systems, etc) (Phase 1). They can only afford to fit out the ground and second floors at this time (Phase 2). The other floors will be fitted out only after the Hospital generates enough revenue to build out the next floors (Phases 3,4 & 5). LEED Core & Shell seem like the idea rating system to use in conjunction with LEED-CI for the two interior floors. However, since the Owner will eventually occupy all the floors, I didn't think we could use LEED-CS (since LEED-CS has to be 50% leased to others). If we use LEED-NC, I believe we will have issues certifying the Phase 1 & 2 projects because of the three (3) non-completed floors (ie; they would need to be included in the project area). Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
