Hi,
We are working for a CI project where the developer has provided a centralized HVAC system. We are following a prescriptive path for the HVAC compliance under EA Cr 1.3. In the LEED form we need to mention the pumps and fan details which should have variable frequency drive under criteria 3.10.
I wanted to know if these details will be only limited to the tenant space or we need to also list down the pump details of the common centralized system.
Thanks in advance.

In general I believe that the only equipment covered is that within the tenant scope of work.

The 5 credits for zoning can be achieved based on the system installed within the tenant scope of works. The 5 points for system efficiency are awarded based on the Landlord base building system, even though it is beyond the "project boundary." There's a LEED Interpretation on this - check the database for the details.
