Do these requirements apply to tenanted areas too ?

Hi Allison, Many thanks for the reply. We will definitely include the requirement in Tenant Guidelines, but could we get the point even if all main occupied areas are tenanted? The only place I could think of that would be considered "occupied" and C&S is the entrance lobby. Would that be enough to get the credit ? Thanks,

Hi Allison, So I followed your advice and submitted this as a CIR. The following is the answer I got from the USGBC: "The applicant is requesting clarification regarding compliance with the credit for spaces with tenant fit out. The applicant notes that it is not yet clear which spaces will be densely occupied. Details for Core and Shell projects with tenant fit out spaces can b e found under the Core and Shell Appendix 4 of the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction. Outdoor air flow measurement devices are required for all mechanical ventilation systems serving the Core & Shell project unless the Core and Shell scope of work includes installing CO2 monitoring for each regularly occupied area in the space. Per the LEED Design and Construction Reference Guide, project teams may want to design control systems with the capability for future expansion to allow CO2 monitoring for densely occupied spaces; however, this is not required for compliance with this credit under the LEED Core & Shell rating system. -------------------- Note the following in their answer: "Outdoor air flow measurement devices are required for all mechanical ventilation systems serving the Core & Shell project unless the Core and Shell scope of work includes installing CO2 monitoring for each regularly occupied area in the space". In my opinion, this means that we only need to install the CO2 sensors and Outdoor measurement devices in C&S areas only. They do not mention the need to have a tenant lease agreement requiring tenants to install CO2 sensors and outdoor measurements devices. I welcome your comments on this.
