I am working on a project where there are no core spaces and all of the fixtures will be provided by the tenants. The building owners have signed a contract to fill half of the building with tenant spaces and the tenants agreed to the 20% water reduction. The question that I have is how do you account for a portion of the building that still has no occupancy regarding accounting for them for this credit. The calculated FTE for the building is 24, but the signed tenants only have 9 FTE. Does the empty space receive the rest of the 15 FTE to equal 24? And should the empty space require to have baseline fixtures attached to them? How should that be accounted for?

Thanks.
