We have a mixed project with residential and office units. Residential area has apartments and few (12) duplex units. As per LEED requirement for Prerequisite 1- Minimum IA performance, CO sensors have to be provided for all residential units even if the cooking or any associated combusion are electric based. As the project has 12 duplexes do we need to provide 12 CO sensor units or more. As per the credit language, " CO monitors must be installed on each floor of each unit ", does that make 12X2 CO sensors for the 12 duplexes?  As the duplexes will have kitchens in the zero floor while...

Greetings. I am working on a mixed project targeting Parksmart for the parking area. In the design stage, the credits B3 and B4- Way Finding Systems- External and Internal were targeted. However, in the construction stage, we realized that providing a parking detection system for the entire parking spaces would be a waste of money as all the offices and residential areas will have dedicated parking. Few visitor parking lots which happen to be 10% of the total parking spaces are open to visitor parking. To comply with the Parksmart credit requirement for wayfinding, will that be acceptable if the parking detection...

Allison Smith Sustainable Design Leader HKS, Inc. LEEDuser Premium Member 42 thumbs up July 8, 2022- 6:00 pm Hello Norbert-  The first thing to understand about this credit is the difference between  Indivdual occupant  and Multioccupant. I run into a lot of confusion from team members because it doesn't always align with how they view the terms. It is important to note that mulioccupant spaces include meeting rooms, breakout rooms, and other areas where a group of people are working together. An individually occupied spaces include private offices AND open offices. This is because people...
