All, We are working with a client in a 1.2 mill. SF office building with three towers connected by a central core. The towers are essentially identical; all conference room or multi-occupant spaces have multiple levels of lighting (dimming, shading etc.) In addition, most if not all, individual workstations have task lights, and it is company policy to provide task lighting if requested. Given the effort associated with calculating compliance at the workstation and room level in each tower across such a large SF, does anyone have any thoughts regarding the acceptability of providing data for a representative sample of rooms or single tower? We believe the project complies with the intent of this credit, but feel the effort to document may present a challenge.

Hi Ryan,
In our experience, the review teams want to see distinct spaces listed separately on the form to verify that individual spaces have been assessed again the credit requirements. But if there is a single tenant in all three buildings, you can show that the controls are typical in all applicable spaces, and that all of the required regularly occupied have been addressed, you might be able to make the case via a narrative and skip some of the documentation busy work. It seems like it would be worth a try.
