Tenant Guidelines are a credit under Core and Shell, but are required under MPR if you have a tenant space in a New Construction project. It takes us many hours to create a nice, usable set of Tenant Guidelines tailored to the project. If I have a 500 sf coffee shop in a 50,000 sf New Construction project I am required to spend hours meeting a requirement that is an option for fully tenant occupied buildings. Is there a reasonable explanation for this?

I believe the logic here is that since LEED Core and Shell project certification is limited to core and shell construction (broadly defined, CS covers only base building elements, such as the structure, envelope and building-level systems, such as central HVAC, etc) it recognizes the division between owner and tenant responsibility for certain elements of the building. However because LEED for New Construction is a whole building rating system, an NC project cannot exclude tenant spaces. Hope this helps.
