Does a large multi-gender restroom count as a shared multi-occupant space requiring three lighting levels? As defined in the reference guide, a shared multi-occupant space is "a place of congregation, or where occupants pursue overlapping or collaborative tasks." I am thinking that I don't see any benefit to dimmable or adjustable lighting here. Anyone have experience with this?

Restrooms are not considered regularly occupied space, and don't require coordination with this credit. You can check out the "IEQ Credit Category Space Matrix" which will show you which credits are classified as regularly occupied vs non regularly occupied depending on space type, and which corresponsing credits have compliance requirements.

Douglas this would not be a place where work tasks are performed. That is the key, tasks for the purpose of the work...

LEED v4 projects should reference the Reference Guide Overview EQ Overview section Space Categorization to determine regularly vs non-regularly occupied spaces. https://www.usgbc.org/guide/bdc
