Tenants advertising - internally illuminated signage

Generally, no.  The tenant work is outside of the scope of the Core & Shell documentation.  There is a credit (SSc9) that CS projects can earn an additional point for helping tenants earn LEED.  CS projects can also earn bonus points by including legally binding tenant lease requirements. There is a file called "Core & Shell Appendix 4".  The first paragraph says,
"In a LEED for Core & Shell building, tenants can choose whether to pursue LEED for Commercial Interiors without affecting the building’s LEED for Core & Shell certification. However, if a developer makes technical requirements from the LEED for Core & Shell Rating System part of a binding lease or sales agreement, the project may be able to earn additional points for credits with technical requirements not addressed in the Core & Shell project design and construction scope. By encouraging green building practices in the tenant’s scope of work, Core & Shell projects with a limited scope can achieve credits for activities that would otherwise be beyond their design and construction control." Exemplary Performance
"Developers can achieve an Innovation in Design point for exemplary performance by requiring their tenants to achieve exemplary performance in certain credits. To earn points this way with a lease or sales agreement, first achieve the credit requirements for the Core & Shell submittal. Additionally, provide documentation and meet the requirements of the Tenant Lease or Sales Agreement compliance path outlined above."
​-SSc8 Light Pollution Reduction is one of the credits listed. Now, I think it will look poorly on the​ CS project's LEED marketing if there are obvious tenant actions that undermine LEED credits.

Hi there, Has anybody received a confirmation from GBCI regarding this issue? From what Bill says, this is not mandatory for the light pollution credit to be awarded but might look contradictory to the LEED goals. Thanks
