Just want to inquire what is an OCCUPANCY DATE in the LEED on line
template? Is it the date the Owner received the Certificate of Occupancy
from governing authority to permit them to occupy and use the building? Or
is it the date after the flush out and the turnover of the building to the Owner and started to move in with the furnitures and fixtures being mobilized to the building? Please advise.

We use the first day that the owner physically occupied and used the space. It isn't unusual for our projects require a lot of time to install equipment after the C of O is issued.

Thanks Susan. Does it mean that the occupancy date should be the day when the Owner received the C of O and the first day they legally occupied
and used the space?

To me it is the day that staff show up, roll up their sleeves and get to work.
