are mixed use projects allowed?

Gita, I am going out on a limb to some extent here, but I would be surprised if the answer was "no," since this project has a significant amount of commercial space, and the comfort of those occupants IS important!

Gita, did you get a definitive answer to your question about a a mixed-use project and IEQc7.2?

I am also looking for comments on the eligibility of achieving this credit in a mixed-use project for v3. Has anyone submitted for this credit on a v3 project?

In LEED 2009, New Construction Residential and Core & Shell projects are not eligible for this credit (see page 543 of the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction, 2009 Edition (Updated June 2010)). Unless the majority of the building is non-residential and occupied by the Owner, it seems this credit is not an option for mixed-use projects.

Cam (Fitzgerald), is the answer you gave in 2011 still true for LEED NC and LEED C&S rating system mixed use projects?

Residential projects registered under LEED BD+C v2009 and Core and Shell projects are still ineligible for this credit. The restriction for residential projects is further clarified in LEED Interpretation 100000434 which indicates that these projects are ineligible because the occupants generally have a higher level of control over the systems. No interpretations or amendments have been made for Core and Shell projects. Residential projects where the occupants have limited control over centralized systems and limited amenities (e.g. no kitchen) could attempt this credit but would need provide a justification for eligibility.

There is however, an exception for college dormitories in NC.

Cam, Cindy, thank you for your very useful, immediate answer!
