Dear all,
Our project recently received the comment below which appears to require an Option B or D 'template' to be submitted with our plan if a tenant is to take 75% or more of the building space, however I have not seen a reference to the template requirement previously.
Right now it is unclear if the project will be occupied by a single or multi tenant. To satisfy the reviewers comments do we prepare a template similar to that available on LEEDUser where the future tenants metering, descriptions, responsible parties etc are populated later if a tenant decides to pursue LEED CI, and submit along with a

The issue you are referencing applies to CS EAc5.1 not EAc5.2.

Thanks for your response Marcus. While I agree with your comment, we received the comment for EAc5.2. I have just seen a similar comment to another CS 2009 EAc5.2 via a colleague - could this be a new interpretation? I have been unable to find official language though.

I would send a project team inquiry to the reviewer via the Contact form on usgbc.org. The comment makes no sense to me for 5.2. I am not aware of any new interpretation.

Hi Martin, my team has just received the same comment during a review phase. Where I can find the template available on LEEDuser that you referred to in your previous comment? Could you please share the link? I'm not able to find it. Thank you.

Can we provide the letter from the landlord that the lease of >75% will not be allowed or very hard to happen (in case of multi tenant hi-rise) to avoid this issue?

I think you could make that case. A letter is a great place to start. Might want to back that up with how the configuration of the building does not lend itself to a large tenant.
