The released addenda for the 2009 LEED ID+C guide has replaced references to "building" with references to "tenant space", leading me to believe that we no longer need to include base building fixtures in either the prerequisite, or the credit calculations. Can someone verify if this is correct?

Correct, you only need to include fixtures within the tenant scope of work, plus showers if they are being relied upon under SSc3.

Tristan, where can I find this requirement regarding shower, again? Is it from your project experience or can you direct me some reference or literature I can go by? It makes sense for total water usage point of view, but what frustrates me is that I can’t find reference/literature to go for. Are we supposed to read between lines and keep guessing about credit requirements or depend upon other project experience? Thanks,

Seonhee, I'm sorry, but I can't recall where I've seen this documented. I have heard it directly from GBCI for projects, though, so I would trust it. In general, I think you can trust what you find in the Reference Guides and addenda, however, there are some small things like this to look out for. That's one thing this forum is good for.

Seonhee: were you ever able to locate the documentation? I'm looking for a historical lis of all the revisions/addendas affecting this credit. Thanks.
