I'm working on a mixed-use CS project. It has retail area in some of the lower floors, it is expected to have mechanical ventilation in these areas but this is not in the scope of the CS project even though the base building will facilitate the installation of the necessary ventilation equipment in the building's shell.
The owner will force the tenants to comply with the requirements of ASHRAE 62.1 by stating it in the lease agreement.
The LEED Online PIf4 template asks for the lease agreement signed by the owner and the tenant, since no tenant has already leased the retail area and the LEED certification is expected before it occurs, should we only upload the lease agreement with the owner’s signature?

A lease agreement showning the 62.1 language should suffice. You didn't ask this question, but be aware that if the central air handling units within the CS scope will eventually serve the tenant areas, then 62.1 VRP calculations should be performed using the anticipated occupant assumptions.
