I have a LEED-NC residential high-rise project that contains about 30% commercial space to be fit-out by a future tenant. Though the tenant fit-out is NOT part of the base-building scope/construction documents, the MEP team for the fit-out space will be installing efficient equipment and are willing to make their mechanical design/equipment data available to the base-building team.
My question is: are we allowed to take credit for tenant equipment even though it is outside of the construction scope? Are drawings/info from a separate contract of work be acceptable or are the energy modelers for the NC base-building better off modeling the tenant fit-out under baseline assumptions?

Why not combine the two contracts for the entire submission? That would be the best way to reflect the whole building scope within the LEED submission.
