Hi, If i want to certify a building that has about 30% current vacancies, does this affect the certification process in any way? Thank you!

Hi Lennart, your question about vacancies would best be posted over on our MPR5 forum, where you can also read some good guidance.With your volume question, can you clarify what you're trying to get at?

If the question is can the LEED compliance and documentation account for only a partially occupied building, unless it is CS/CI the answer I think is no - you have to provide calculations and strategies that will handle full occupancy.

For EBOM at least 50%of floor area needs to be in use during the performancr period. 55% if it is a hotel.
