Hello,
Is it possible to pursue this credit in a Core&Shell certification in the Innovation section ? For example by including the requirements in a tenant lease for the elements that have an impact on the acoustic performance but that are outside of the scope of work of the Core&Shell project ?
Thank you

Sorry for the slow reply. I'm trying to find someone who has more experience with the Core and Shell certification and the Innovation credits.
My gut feeling is that it would be OK to try for the acoustics credits this way as it looks like some of the energy credits can be completed using lease documents in a similar way.
You could try posting over on the Core and Shell forum http://www.leeduser.com/credit/CS-2009/IDc1 .

Unfortunately there hasn't been an equivalent to the 2009 Appendix 4 published yet. I agree that this might be possible since you can claim credit for tenant spaces in the base building via tenant requirements in 2009, but that's primarily for performance based credits. The TR ID credit opportunities were for construction based activities, not tenant design related issues. I wouldn't count on acoustics being an option. Definitely worth some direct follow-up with GBCI before you get too far down this road.

For future LEEDusers who might be interested in the response, the GBCI replied to me that it is acceptable :
"If the project team is able to fulfill the requirements, it is required to clearly identify which components of the credit will be implemented as part of the developer’s scope of work, and which portions will be part of the tenants’ scope of work and enforced through binding tenant lease or sales agreements. The technical credit requirements incorporated into a legally binding document must be signed by both the developer and the tenant. The document must explicitly state performance requirements for the tenant work."
