Hi Gurneet, I believe that the credit language is fairly clear in stating that it is only the tenant's current scope of work that would need to be included in a LEED-CI application, That being said, if you can educate or inform the small group of 6-7 people and suggest they purchase Energy Star equipment that would be ideal. In my experience, computers, when purchased new, are fairly easy to specify as ENERGY STAR labeled. As a reminder, if you do certify under LEED-CI then it'll only be the tenant space under the owner's scope that will achieve the LEED Certification (and technically not the tenant space of the group of 6-7 people) because that is the only tenant space submitted as part of your LEED Certification submission. If you wanted to certify multiple tenant spaces under LEED-CI then you'd need to ensure that all tenant spaces met the criteria and that all tenant spaces were included under all credit requirements (not just EAc1.4).
