As it says above, achieving this credit without a BAS is difficult. What exactly needs to be done if we don't have a BAS?

CS projects should have 75% of GFA to earn this credit?

75% of "leasable area" makes more sense here. How do we communicate our suggestions to USGBC. Kindly let me know if there is a way.
