LOCAL ORDINANCE LEED CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Dear LEEDusers, Im currently working on a Medical Office Building that we are currently pursuing certification under the Core and Shell rating system. Unfortunately our Tenant Leaseing agreement does not specifically address the key credits we are seeking outside our scope as conditional requirements nor does it include any detailed appendix. Instead, we have included a generic clause our Tenant has agreed to which refers to strict compliance with the Local County ordinance as it relates to tenant improvements. The county's ordinance calls for this project to be LEED certified contingent to a zoning reclassification planned unit development (PUD) board decision. My approach is to develop a tenant guideline program which will not only educate our Tenant as to the high performance capacity this building was designed for but also provide a suggestive approach to county compliance at a minimum. Will this suffice the Tenant Sales/ Leasing Agreement?
