Is there a minimum scope of work to certify a project under LEED CI? I somehow remember a requirement that at least one room be unavailable for regular use for a minimum period of time (1 day?) but I can't find anything to this effect now. I believe this was intended to prevent certification of projects that only comprise minor renovations (repaint, etc.)

Michael, I'm not aware of a minimum scope of work for this. I think the issue can be viewed from the other direction. If you aren't doing any work on the project then it's hard to generate activity that would make you credit compliant. And, doing work like for EAp2 compliance would be an empty exercise and unlikely (though not impossible of course) for an owner to want to pay for it.
