We are working on a major renovation healthcare project for a four story building which is fully owned by the owner. The major renovation is only happening on the first and second floors and it might be a couple of years before the third and fourth floors go under renovation, so they would be considered shell space for now. Is it possible to certify this building as a whole building with LEED NC 2009? If so how do we calculate the FTE, transients and regularly occupied spaces if we're not sure what the function would be later?

My question again is what type of healthcare project - inpatient or outpatient? The answer depends on the LEED program you are in and the occupancy of the future fit out spaces. Whenever I've dealt with shell spaces in healthcare, I've been able to review the long term master plan for the type of space going in the shell space. Once you know the type of space, you can extrapolate occupancy.
