Hello everyone-
I may be overthinking this but I wanted to make sure. If the building my client is moving into is already LEED NC/CS (not sure which) certified, and thus most likely has water saving core fixtures (toilets, etc) I can still use those same fixtures to demonstrate compliance with LEED CI WEp1 and WEc1 thresholds, right? Even if we don't change the fixtures-can I still use them in our calcs to achieve the WE prereq? And does this same concept apply to other credits as well? e.g. minimum energy performance, bike storage and changing rooms,etc? I think I read somewhere that if showers were used to satisfy one tenant's LEED reqs then I can't use the same ones to satisfy the number of showers I would need.

Leslie, in most cases LEED-CI credits are designed to be more specify and not overlapping with NC-type requirements. For example, WEp1 only applies to fixtures in the tenant scope. Also, EAp2 requirements are very different for CI. With things like bike storage you do need to make sure you're not double-counting something that another CI project may be counting.I hope this answers your question. More specfiic questions may come up, and be best addressed, the specific CI credit pages and forums.
