Identify what areas and systems will be in the CS scope, and also the tenant fit-out scope or space. You have to meet the credit requirements for everything in the CS scope, and for tenant fit-out areas, require that those spaces meet relevant requirements.
You have to provide containment drains in chemical mixing and storage areas. Review this requirement with the plumbing engineer. Explore its implications and confirm compliance with LEED as well as local laws and building codes.
Identify space requirements for entryway walk-off mats. Review the impact that the required ten-foot entryway systems will have on common areas, lobbies, and other interior spaces adjacent to building entries. Remember that the entryway systems have to be installed at all regularly used entrances from exterior spaces, including entrances from a covered parking garage into the building.
Identify programming requirements for special-use spaces such as high-volume copy rooms (40,000 pages or more per month), laboratories, art rooms, chemical storage, housekeeping areas, and other spaces that may expose occupants to hazardous materials.
