future tenant fit-out on a LEED NC 2009 project

Just curious, what is the square footage of the total project vs. the area of the cafe?

Janika, it's my understanding that for a small core and shell space like this on an NC project, you would only include in your LEED compliance whatever is in your scope of work. So for example you would commission any core and shell energy systems in your scope for the cafe, but you don't have to commission future systems installed by the tenant. Does that jive with your understanding?

Janika, I performed LEED services on a project almost identical to yours. 228,000 sqft dormitory; The first floor included a cafeteria, classrooms, offices + retail space. The project achieved LEED NC certification. A 5,000 sqft future retail space was provided with rough-ins (hot water / chilled water pipes stubbed in for future fan coils). The LEED reviewer required us to commissioning everything in our scope of the work. Additionally the LEED reviewer required the Architect to submit a tenant guidelines document for the future build-out. The document required the build-out to adhere to all the prereqs and credits that were achieved by the initial project.
