Where did the 7-point scale requirement come from? We have had our documentation questioned in reviews because we did not use this scale.

I have a hotel + residential tower project with approx 50-50 break up. Can this project achieve Thermal Verification credit?

Unfortunately residential projects are not eligible for this credit and the project cannot pursue a 'partial' credit for the hotel space.

This is also posted in more detail below(March 2014) This is a reply I got on a college residence hall project, in which we earned this credit. I found it very interesting and thought it might be helpful- "Dormitories, however, are not always classified as true residential projects within the LEED rating systems. To be considered residential each dormitory units would need to possess both bedrooms and kitchens. Should the units/rooms in your project not include kitchens, then your project would be eligible for this point. Additionally to be eligible for this credit, it is important that the building operate under one overall HVAC system rather than have individually-controlled systems/units for each unit/room." (We had fan coil units for each room) "There is an additional requirement for the survey of a dormitory, however. Please note - the Survey must be given when the building will be fully occupied - not during breaks/holidays or during non-regular semesters (i.e. summer). "

Thanks for sharing. we've earned this on a couple dormitories but get push back sometimes at LEED meetings from people who say we can't earn it because the project is residential.

We have a project that is only 3 floors of residential over 18 of hotel. Do you all think we still stand a chance? Probably a CIR situation?
