Hello
the first phase (parking garage) of our project will be delivered to client for occupancy now, but the rest of the project will still be under construction for a while. we will apply IAQ Guidelines for occupied building under construction SMACNA.
We might consider a flush out at the end of the project for the whole building, would it be still possible even if part of the building was occupied without flush out? or we have to flush out the completed phase (parking garage) now and seal it from the rest of the building that still under construction and then flush out the rest of the building when it is completed?
please clarify
Thank you!!

This is addressed under Implementation in the 2009 BD&C Reference Guide (p.465). You can't earn the credit if portions of the LEED scope have been occupied without a flush-out (at least 3,500 cf/sf). An isolated flush-out of completed portions of phased construction is the way to go.
