1) Is there an exception for small corner offices? The office is about 90 square feet. The 2 solar exposures are north and east facing. The office will have it's own dedicated split highwall. The rest of the floor has many splits for many different rooms. 2) The split highwall has a SEER of 13.72. Are the reviewers really picky about the 14 SEER requirement from the advanced buildings CPG?

I am not aware of any exceptions. The prescriptive requirements must be met if following that option is my understanding.

The LEED Credit Form does not specifically require documentation of the SEER rating as it noted in the CPG.
