NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
We are working on a project that is primarily a nursing home but there is a tenant space on the ground floor that is about 15% of the building. The tenant is required to put in their own HVAC system for their space.
Is our project considered to be "mixed-use"?
Should we claim that this area should be exempt from this Credit requirement or should they have to meet this Credit requirement (and include it in part of their lease agreement)?

Generally such spaces are not excluded. If it is a part of the LEED project then it must be included.
