<P class=MsoNormal>Following up on the topic of taking credit for the Elevator
Efficiency for the proposed case as compared to the LEED baseline, has anyone
been able to successfully document it and eventually gained approval from the
LEED reviewers. If so could you please share the methodology.<o:p></o:p></P>
