I have a client that will be renovating the majority of an old warehouse. Since his lease is > 60% of the building GFA, is he required to do NC? The shell of the building is not being significantly renovated and the building owner is not interested in doing LEED. Therefore, some of the pre-requisites for NC might be out of our control. Can a tenant still do CI even if he is using > 60% of the building? If he decides he wants to do BD&C, will we have a problem since we do not own the car park, landscaping, etc. Q2: Does the 60% figure include the land + the building, or just the building?

David, I don't think there is a hard requirement that would prevent the tenant from doing CI. What I would recommend here is reviewing the CI scorecard and especially the prerequisites and seeing if there are any pitfalls that would prevent certification.
