The language of The Reference Guide and MPR's don't seem to quite come out and make this clear; so I figured I would just ask - - suppose a company owns a building, lives and works in that building, and subleases one floor of it......can they use LEED CI for the floors they occupy? Can they "ignore" energy and atmosphere pre-req's like HVAC system or building envelope minimum efficiency (ASHRAE 90.1)? Thank you.

No responses yet, OK, I will try asking another way....... I am told that you can ignore minimum energy pre-req related to building envelope when using LEED CI (v3) for spaces you are a tenant in (this building is unlikely to make it because it's old solid brick with no stud space and no insulation at all). But what if the ownership of the building and the ownership of the tenant are, effectively, the same? Thank you Tom
