My project includes the renovation of an existing building and a major attached addition (over 70% of the project is new construction). The existing building has an existing gymnasium (this is a high school). The gymnasium is on the second floor of a two story existing building and falls in the middle of my LEED boundary (as the new construction wraps the existing and we are renovating the first floor below): however, there is no (zero) scope in the existing gymnasium. We are doing absolutely nothing to the existing gym; it just happens to be in the middle of a renovation / addition project and therefore falls in the middle of my LEED boundary. Great efforts have gone into isolating the gym so nothing relating to the construction affects the gym. Must we flush out this space even though no work has occurred in the gym? Because of the size of this space, it will add weeks to the flush out period and may cause the client to forgo the flush-out altogether (I don't want this to happen). Are there any precedents for pulling a space out of the flush-out calculations because there is no work occurring in them? Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.
