Tenants installing glare control devices

Hello Ricardo, I have the same question. Did you manage to get a response somewhere else? Thank you, Blanca

I searched under the v3 posts and also did not find a definitive response. I feel like it's perfectly logical for it to be a hard requirement in the lease agreement, but I don't make the rules. This has come up on several of my v4 projects, so I'm surprised it hasn't been asked/answered here. Any updates from anyone? I'll ask LEED Coach in the meantime.

Hello Emily, Technically the project team must provide a signed Tenant Sales and Lease Agreement (TSLA) for each tenant with these glare control requirements clearly outlined. Since this is unrealistic for large projects, they do warrant some flexibility which is yet very unclear. Please do let us know if you gather more information. Thank you

Unfortunately no draft lease language and a letter signed by the client will suffice. At this time, there is no allowance for a draft lease and signed statement by the client as was the case in LEEDv2009.

HI All, Has anyone an updtae on this that they could share, also if the C&S project does not have a tenant on board yet? Would a Signed Client letter be sufficient to confirm that the requirements for the installtion of blinds by the tenant will be required?

Hello, has anyone had an update on these issues?

Hi all,  I have a response from LEED Coach on this topic: "Thank you for reaching out to us with your question regarding demonstrating compliance with EQc Daylight requirements for glare control devices using a Tenant Sales and Lease Agreement (TSLA) for LEED v4 BD+C: Core and Shell projects. For LEED Core and Shell projects, the interior blinds/shades for glare control in leasable tenant spaces included in a Tenant Sales and Lease Agreement (TSLA) may be counted towards credit compliance/achievement PROVIDED a fully executed agreement (signed by BOTH the tenant and the owner) is documented and the agreement includes the terms related to how the technical credit requirements will be carried out by the tenant.  Unlike in v3, unsigned or sample Tenant Lease and Sales Agreements (i.e. those not executed by BOTH Owner and Tenant) may not be used for this approach in LEED v4/4.1. This is outlined in the "Getting Started" section of the LEED Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction LEED v4 (https://www.usgbc.org/guide/bdc) under "Tenant Sales and Lease Agreement." Note, without a binding Tenant Sales and Lease Agreement, it would be very difficult/impractical for LEED BD+C: Core and Shell v4/v4.1 projects to comply with the glare control requirements UNLESS the Owner is willing to install the glare control devices."   Hope that helps.
