In my project there is a main entrance lobby that includes a permanently manned reception. Would that count as live-work space for category "Ground-Level Use and Parking" option h? I am not quite sure as it would probably be 2-3 persons on several hundred square meters which is not really comparable to an office or shop.

Hi Jens. You're correct in that the permanently manned reception would not count as live-work space, as the people that work in that space do not also live in that space. More importantly, I need to note that the updated version of this playbook (posted to the Pilot Credit Library in conjunction with the start of LEED 2012 2nd Public Comment) no longer includes this optional requirement.
