Dear All,
We are doing a LEEDv4 CS project. For applying this credit, we need to engage 50%-100% (1-2 points) of total energy to be addressed by green power, REC and or offsets.
At page no. 454, core and shell building energy consumption is mentioned as the energy usage by BOMA std, or 15% of project floor area.
I understand that in CS project, do we need to considered total energy consumption of CS areas only such as basement/open parking, exterior landscape area, common area, STP, ETP, domestic pumps.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Regards
Devendra C.

Yes CS area only but it must be at least 15% of total project area.
