Hi,
As part off a recent CI design review we have found a building where as part of the enticement for the tenant to move has offered to upgrade portions of the building and in particular add a CRRC cool roof and update the landscaping to drought tolerant and drip irrigation. Because these are not currently part of the existing building would these measures be disallowed as part of the SS credit 1 Option 2 path? Is it firm policy to have the measures in place prior to tenant improvement work?
Thanks!

These measures would be allowed—as long as you can document them as part of your LEED-CI submission, that should be fine. I don't see a practical or other reason for why they should be in place before the tenant work begins. Do you?

That was my original premise but I since this is my first CI project I thought it would be prudent to check and see what other thought of the issue. I have every intention of meeting and tracking each credits complete requirement.
Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes the gray area in some of these LEED programs can be a little confusing.
Cheers.
