For Core and Shell projects, strategies must be comprehensive and address the building as a whole—in many circumstances, this will mean addressing tenant spaces as well as the base building.

Instance, if you decide to pursue an innovation credit for sustainable landscape management, you can probably do so without the involvement of tenants. But if you want to earn an ID point for a comprehensive recycling program, this must involve the entire building—including tenant spaces. In order to do this, you would either control the recycling services of the base building and tenant spaces, or develop legally binding performance criteria that require buyers or tenants to provide recycling services that meet the criteria outlined in the ID credit.
