Hello all,
we have just certified a building as Core and Shell, but now the owners want to achieve also the Commercial Interior certification. Can i use the Performance Rating Method (eventually updating the model if in the construction fase something changes) or should i follow the Energy Cost Budget method?
Thank you in advance!

Do you meet the prescriptive requirements? If you do that may be the simpler option. If not then the performance option would be necessary. Might want to look through the Interpretations but I do not see why they would not allow you to use an Appendix G model for the purpose of this prerequisite. If it is not addressed in the Interpretations might want to ask GBCI directly.
