Hi All,
Th Appendix A - AGMBC Applicability for Credits and Prerequisites in LEED 2009 Design & Construction Rating Systems describes a Mater Tenant Design and Construction Guideline for SSc9 Tenant Design and Construction Guidelines for LEED CS using the group certification scheme as:
"One Master Tenant Design & Construction Guideline may be used that includes a section for each building type and/or design included in the project."
Does the each building type stated above means: office, retail, residence? Is it correct to say that if I have two office buildings in one group certification I don't have to change anything from a normal Tenant Design & Construction Guideline?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Noriko, Your assumptions are basically correct. If the building types are the same they may not need any separate/different guidance, but another factor to consider is whether the designs of the buildings within the group differ in any way that would make a substantive difference to the project-specific guidelines you would provide to future Tenants. For example, the base building's HVAC system can have a considerable effect on the tenant fit-out, and if one building's HVAC system differs substantially from the other's, the Tenant Guidelines should have separate sections to help the future tenants of each building optimize their fit-out for each building's HVAC system, even if they are both Office buildings.
