What LEED program is intended for 25 or more identical projects under BD+C or O+M?

• A. LEED Campus
• B. LEED BD+C
• C. LEED Volume
• D. LEED-CS

Answer: (C)

When a company wants to certify a large number of similar buildings, a streamlined path is needed to avoid duplicating submittals. The program designed for this scenario is LEED Volume. It allows 25 or more identical projects to be registered and pursued under a common framework, either under Building Design and Construction or Operations and Maintenance. With LEED Volume, there is a master project that defines the shared design, performance targets, and credit interpretations, and each individual project reuses standardized templates and documentation. This approach keeps the intent and performance across the portfolio consistent while greatly reducing repetitive reviews and approvals.

Other options don’t fit this scenario: LEED Campus is intended for multiple buildings on a single campus site under common ownership but isn’t specifically about certifying 25+ identical projects; LEED BD+C refers to the rating system path rather than a portfolio program; LEED for Core & Shell is a separate rating system path and not the mass-certification program for identical projects.
