Hello Everyone: First of all, I have read previous posts, and I have seen that this subject has already been discussed, but the way I see it, in this case it might be a special circumstance. We are working on a CI project which spans around 80% of the gross area of the building in which it is located, our clients being the only tenants in the building. The Core and Shell scope of the building is in process of certification. An accessible green roof was installed as part of the core and shell scope, but no lightning or other fittings were delivered for this area. Our CI clients installed all of the fittings for this space, including a canopy, the deck and all of the lightning. Therefore we have included it in the project scope, have been considering it in every credit we expect to achieve, and we will include it in the certification fees when we apply for review. Furthermore, the credit language speaks about "connected lightning power density" without making regards about interior or exterior aspect of the lightining. Since this lighting is under the project's scope, we have been including it in our calculations (using Table 9.4.5 to calculate maximum Wattage for this areas). Since the credit template does not makes a provision for this circumstance, we were expecting to mark the special circumstances option. What do you think about this special case? Any ideas? Do you think we are on the right track? Thanks in advance for your contribution.
