In our hotel project the workspace of all permanent employees is in basement which does not meet the requirement of this credit. but if we include the guest rooms which having the more window area, we can achieve this credit. so my question is that can we include the guest areas as regularly occupied areas in this credit calculation or not?

Guest rooms would be considered regularly occupied, so they must be included in credit calculations, which sounds like it's to your advantage here.In order to decide which steps to take to earn the credit, I recommend our checklist under the Checklists tab above (which is a paid membership feature).

Ashu and Tristan,
Would this same approach be considered for a convention center? Instead of guest rooms (meeting rooms or exhibit halls). Thanks!

I would say that meeting rooms would be considered regularly occupied spaces, since the are similar to classrooms, which are considered regularly occupied. I'm not sure about an exhibit hall—doesn't seem like it meets the definition.
