I am looking at a mixed-use high-rise project with a residential portion. The credit is normally only for Core and Shell certifications, but has anyone out there had it approved for a highrise Residential building in an NC Certification? If so can you let me know how it went?

Melissa, I am not familiar with any projects that have pursued this credit in NC. If the spaces in your building are not undergoing substantial additional work, then your project might not fit the intent of the credit. However, you could probably make a case to use tenant guidelines as one of the options for the Green Education credit.

Ante, that sounds like an interesting option. Where I am the tenant spaces are normally not fitted out to a high level, thus my interest in potentially adapting the credit (if that's possible). However I think your suggestion may be more reasonable. If they do intend to do a "light" fit-out I will check the CIR list more carefully and if there is nothing there I might see if the client is interested in pursuing a CIR. If we do that I'll post the result.
