We are dealing with this situation; Our future client wants to renovate (envelope modifications and HVAC renovationan) an existing building but he will not occupy the building; on the contrary he will rent/lease/sell the interior spaces.
What rating system should we use? NC according the major renovation case? Or the Core and Shell according the lease situation?
Thanks in advance

Paola, by using the 60/40 rule, if more than 60% to be occupied by tenants, definitely CS system. But if it is 50/50, your choice whether NC or CS. If below the 40% mark, NC is obvious. And when in the end it is defined as CS, you can pre-certify the project too.
