It would be a poor indication if LEED depended on the accordion. Any worthwhile project should have some buffer points built in (10% or so) to allow for difficulties during the certification stage - the CaGBC doesn't always award all the points requested.
Glad that accordion's gone. Could stand to see a greater visible difference between the backdrop and preserved CIBC building. Though, in real life, the difference may be marked enough with just the massing.
