Does anyone have experience documenting an ID credit in CS for flushout based on another rating system (CI for example)? Flushout would be just for built out 2 floors of a 5 story building.

Deeta, I don't have experience with this, but I would be reluctant to attempt this. The IEQc3.2 credit that appears in other rating systems intentionally doesn't appear in CS, and this is an example of why—CS is a whole-building rating system, but the credit would only be applicable to 2 floors. I think if you could do it on 5 finished floors, that might work, but then you wouldn't be in the CS rating system, anyway.

Thank you for your reply Tristan! The thinking was that since CI offers flushout for individual built out spaces, we could apply this to built out spaces and require as part of our Tenant Design and Construction guidelines.
We have other ID credit options which it sounds like we would be better off exploring, but still have flushout on our minds - the project was initially going to be NC, but owner scope reduction means CS is more appropriate, and leaves us with flushout intention but no avenue given CS rating system.
Thanks again!
