Our building includes a large laboratory space. Can our project benchmark under the Labs21 program?
How long is an Energy Star label valid to use with a streamlined approach for Case 1?
When is it possible to exclude up to 10% of the building from EAp2?
How do I account for computers with multiple monitors on Portfolio Manager?

The minimum occupancy requirement is 50%. This can be found in the LEED 2009 MPR SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE, issued by the USGBC in November 2009.

One exception is that for hotels, currently LEED and Energy Star's minimum occupancy requirements are both 55%. This is also noted in the USGBC document.
