I know that for EAc1 there was a requirement that "All LEED for New Construction project registered after June 26, 2007 are required to achieve at least two (2) points." Since I am working on a LEED CI project, I wanted to see if I still had to meet this requirement? Of course my project will be meeting the EAp2 prereq. However, this project will be obtaining most of its points through WE and other areas than E&A since it is a lab project. The HVAC needs of the lab go against LEED; thus, inhibiting our ability to go after E&A credits (other than possibly buying RECs). I just want to make sure I am not required to also obtain 2 points under EAc1 for CI projects.

LEED v3 Commercial Interiors projects do not need to meet this requirement. The prerequisite does require project teams to reduce the lighting levels by 10% when compared to ASHRAE 90.1-2007, Section #9.
