We have an existing 45 Storey building consist of 2 basements, ground, two mezzanine, and 40 floors.

since the owner tendered a renovation & Maintenace work, replacing all the MEP systems, and big part of finishes, for all floors. excluding the exterior. First 3 floors will be used by owner team and facility management. Thus, owner decided remaining 40 floors to be used by tenants as offices rental.

Which rating system is most suitable for our case?

Hi Ammar. I'm thinking the appropriate mechanical system is LEED Core and Shell, based on the following:

the building doesn't appear to have been occupied for the last year
the owner is replacing mechanical systems and finishes throughout the building
the owner is only occupying 3 out of 45 floors, but owns the entire building

You should consider checking with LEED Coach (leedcoach@usgbc.org) to confirm.
