Hey Guys, We're designing a facility with Classrooms and Private Offices for 6 regularly occupied employees. The private offices will be occupied by those 6 people for sometimes 20 days in certain months and then go for 4-6 months with no one occupying the building. I'm considering those rooms as regularly occupied. The classrooms will be occupied for only 2/4 days in any given month, only when those 6 people are occupying the building. For the rest of the period the building will be unused. Will the classrooms be considered as regulary occupied, even though they are occupied for 2/4 days in a month? I couldn't find any language about the number of days a space has to be occupied anywhere in the LEED Reference book. Any thoughts?

Yes, the classrooms are considered regularly occupied. There is no languages that states the number of days. in a year that a space has to be occupied to be considered regularly occupied. There is language that states at least one hour on average per day to be considered, but a classroom is a classroom and should have views.
