We are preparing for an 4800 sq ft office renovation in a portion three story building and would like to pusue LEED-CI. We will not be touching the HVAC systems; large rooftop units. However we re refitting all the lighting to High efficiency with daylight harvesting. Are we required to include the HVAC system in our application?

Only the items in the project's scope of work are evaluated in the CI submission.

I am also not totally straight about this. If my tenant is not upgrading the lighting or HVAC, do I need to evaluate it? What about meeting IAQ PR1? If the existing system satisfies code but does not satisfy ASHRAE 62, and the tenant is not going to address it during the fit out, does that mean we can not try for LEED?
