We performed IAQ testing to meet IEQc3.2 on a subway station. The IAQ levels passed easily, and our approach was recognized by the LEED reviewer as an appropriate approach. However, this credit is being denied, because they are claiming the credit is not appropriate for an "unenclosed" building. We feel that the intent is being met. Any experience or advice with this?

LEED Interpretation #2259 states that the unenclosed spaces of the project may be excluded from the requirements of EQc3.2.
If the entire project is defined as "unenclosed" I believe this credit cannot be achieved. I also suspect USGBC would not allow project teams to certify a building if the entire building was defined as unenclosed.
