Dear all.
Our building has a TESCO store on the ground floor. Do we have to include the store into regularly occupied area? LEED reference guide says that regularly occupied areas should be just office, conference rooms, classrooms., core learning spaces and cafeterias. That means that retail does not count?
Thank you for any advice.

No, retail counts. Those are just examples of spaces that do count. The list is not all-inclusive. You need to go by the definition of regularly occupied spaces. I would say that you could exclude stock rooms and storage rooms from the regularly occupied spaces, but otherwise rest of the area counts.
