A nine-story residential building includes 60% of the gross floor area within the project scope, Which rating system is the most appropriate for the LEED certification of this project?
A.
LEED AP Building Design and Construction: Multifamily Midrise
B.
LEED AP Building Design and Construction: Core and Shell Development
C.
LEED AP Building Design and Construction. Homes and Multifamily Low-rise
D.
LEED AP Building Design and Construction: New Construction and Major Renovation
LEED BD+C: Multifamily Midrise is the appropriate rating system for residential buildings that are four to eight stories above grade1. Since the project scope includes 60% of the gross floor area, it meets the minimum program requirement of having at least 40%of the gross floor area certified2. The other rating systems are not suitable for this project because they either apply to different building types or heights23.
