We have been asked to provide designs for a shell space, and the owner would like to attempt LEED certification. The building will be new construction.
I'm having trouble understanding how we might meet WE & EA prerequisites.
The owner does not plan to include any HVAC or plumbing work in the spaces.
The building will be "strip mall" configuration, with 3 tenant spaces, all of which have been leased pre-construction. The tenant will be entirely responsible for the provision of HVAC and plumbing provisions within their individual spaces. The owner is only planning to provide electrical/plumbing service, and a location for ventilation louvers.
Is it possible to meet all prerequisites, or even get points based on leasing agreements/requirements imposed by the owner on the tenant fit-out design?

Tony, you can earn the prerequisites through lease agreements—see CS Appendix 4 in the LEED Reference Guide for more detail on this. I think that should take care of it—let us know how it goes.
