Hi there,
I am unsure what is meant by one specialty trade. I have a project that is considering re carpeting about half of their building, which is a substantial alteration. Would this not count? I read some discussion before about LEED disproving of just replacing carpet and painting walls, but like I said this is substantial and has been identified by the occupants as their #1 problem with the building.

Victoria, Unfortunately even if you considered re-carpeting the whole building I'm afraid, based on current knowledge, that it won't count.

An electrician has installed additional sensors for IEQ2.2, can that count as a second specialty trade?

Victoria, Under MRc3 you will have needed to complete specific construction work within the building (stud walls, sheetrock, false ceiling, paint, etc), all associated with one space. While it would be nice to accumulate work from throughout the building unfortunately in your specific example this just won't work. You need more substantial work.
