Check, check, and check. This credit is a combination of four distinct requirements, and if three of them don't apply to you... I guess you can call it a day. I would recommend you check the LEED Online form for this credit fairly early on to ensure that there aren't any surprises hidden there.

what happens if my Outside Air Handling Unit is not in tenant scope and does not have MERV-13 Filtration. In the Tenant Spce we have Fan Coil Units (return air only) and obvioulsy one cannot put MERV-13 into Fan Coil Units. Does this mean goodbye to this credit?

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Seems as though you could earn the credit by fulfilling the other requirements, if they're in your scope. If none of them are in your scope, though, I doubt you could earn the credit. It would be akin to not being eligible for WEc3 in fit-outs with no water fixtures in scope.

I actually did find a 1" Merv-13 filter that could possibly be put into the FCU. We have no water fitures in the tenenat space but probably would work with the landlord the change them on our floor so we can get WEc3. We have no high volume copying and have no chemical use so we could than possibly do it with the FCU filters only I guess.
