Yes. You can do that and you can also require certain controls like occupancy sensors in space, where it's not already required per ASHRAE. I do however recommend listing Watts per square feet per space type instead of just 5% below ASHRAE. That just makes it easier for tenants to understand what that means.
Also the design guide is just a recommendation and guideline for the tenant not a requirement. Your tenant sales and lease agreement is separate from that and binding for the tenant.
