LEED v4 CI Retail - Occupancy counts across prerequisites

  This is good to hear Tristan, and that is exactly the approach we took (202 peak occupancy based on ASHRAE 62 tables/calcs). Unfortunately  it is the LEED reviewer that questioning why our occupancy count doesn't match up!  The reviewer's comment is:  "The total peak occupancy of 202 people documented for this prerequisite [Min IAQ Performance] varies substantially from the total building users of 2,264 people [this is the total peak retail customers over a 17-hour day minus the employees or regular building occupancy] reported in the narrative provided in PI Project information. The peak occupancy should be reported consistently among credits. Confirm the appropriate peak occupancy for the  building and update the peak occupancy and/or the diversity so the peak occupancy is consistent among all credits or provide a detailed narrative describing the difference in occupants." (which I did explain in detail why this varied so much in the PI Project Information). So you would never have all 2264 retail customers there at the same time, right! The way I explained it is that a peak 8-hour shift would have an avg. of 175 'retail customers' (per hour) with the remaining 9 hours of operation averaging 96 customers per hour (or daily avg of 133 retail customers per hour) + 27 FTE's (peak shift of 4 overlapping 8-hour shifts) for a total of 202. And this is what I explained. So I'm not sure how they're expecting this to ever match up.  What would you do?
