Sample form of LEED HC IEQ c2

Hi all, When I look into the sample form downloaded from LEED ONLINE, the "Table IEQc2-4. Exterior Equipment" asks the maximum exterior equipment sound should be less than 55dBA.(The exterior site noise exposure category is C.) The maximum exterior equipment sound means the design goal for hospital nighttime exterior equipment sound described in table 1.4-1 of SV Design Guidelines. But the site exterior noise implementation of LEED reference book said "Implement controls on exterior MEP equipment and systems to reduce sound levels at building facades to 65 dBA or less, and 70 dBA for emergency power equipment.". Which one should I follow to pursue the credit? Should I still consider the implementation since the form doesn't ask for it? Thanks for any help and suggestion.
