Jeremy- it's a little bit of a gray area, but I think that you should be able to earn this credit if the existing equipment meets the requirements. We have been able to claim WE credit 1: Water Use Reduction for using fixtures that were already in place and this seems like a similar application. I have not personally worked on a hotel using CI, and it seems like it would be a difficult task! Good luck!

I appreciate it Allison. As an update, our certifying body got back to me that yes, existing building equipment can earn LEED CI credits as long as it is used consistently throughout other LEED credits.
