I’m wondering about how to comply with this credit for a C&S building that, upon initial completion, will be just a big warehouse space with no ventilation and the only HVAC equipment will be unit heaters to maintain 55 DegF during the heating season. There will be various tenant build-outs in the future, but the number is unknown and those spaces are not delineated yet. There will be no RTUs or exhaust fans installed as part of the C&S project. I assume the only way we can get this credit is by using special circumstances and uploading a lease agreement with binding language about 62.1 compliance, etc. However, in order to complete the form, I have to check one of the options regarding whether the project is mechanically/naturally ventilated/conditioned, none of which would apply. Any advice on a way around this? Also, since there is no ventilation system we cannot enter a ventilation system designer. The other option is to do upload IEQp1-RS1 which asks for the following:

Provide a document with the required signatory statement, copied directly from the form, signed and dated on letterhead.

I have no idea what for they’re requesting here. Anyone done this before?

In general, without any method of ventilation at initial completion, will we be able to achieve this prerequisite?

Would greatly appreciate input anyone may have.
