What is an example of GSF not part of an initial fit-out or an alteration? Would it include any of the core/exist mechanical spaces?
We have a core & shell where we are doing the initial fit-out for the entire floor...does this mean I sould put 100% of the GSF down as initial fit-out?-or do I subtract the core's GSF from my total number?

I'm assuming you're asking about the CI - 2009 form. I've not seen this used, but imagine it might apply if you are including a space in the LEED project area because it is part of the tenant's leased area but may not be undergoing renovation. Perhaps a storage room, work room, or other support space is being re-used from the previous tenant's plan without being altered. Since it is part of the overall office area, you'd want to include it in the project boundary, but use this form field to distinguish that area from other areas undergoing alteration.
If you are pursuing LEED CI, the core areas such as elevators & lobbies, common restrooms, mechanical rooms, would not typically be included in the LEED project boundary since those are not the tenant space and are typically a different scope of work. Hope that explains it.
