The project is a 127,000 sf, 10-story, new construction, mixed-use building. This is an owner/developer lead project in which we have several major tenants that have control over the interior build-outs. - The 1st floor contains condominium parking, hotel tenant common spaces & (2) small retail spaces that will not be built out at the current time. - Floors 2-8 are occupied by a hotel tenant. The hotel interiors will be built per the franchise standards. The franchise is not participating in any LEED initiatives. - Floors 9-10 are residential condos. Although these will be built by the developer, the majority will be sold to private tenants prior to construction. We are issuing a bid package for the base building core & shell and a separate bid package for the interiors of the hotel & condos. This inquiry is in regards to EQ Prerequisite 2 (ETS Control) and the appropriate LEED Project Boundary (LPB) to use for this project. We plan to achieve EQ Preq. 2 through Option 1 (prohibit smoking) for the retail portion, and Option 3 (residential buildings) for the hotel & condo portions. The documentation for this credit requires that we "provide appropriate copies of construction drawings to document the location of the smoking rooms, designed area separations, and dedicated ventilation systems." As a CS project, we would typically exclude all interior partitions from the LPB. In order to meet the requirements of this credit, we have proposed the following options: Option 1: Include all of the hotel & condo interiors in the LPB. Exclude the 1st floor retail spaces. - This option does not appear to be consistent with LEED-CS and seems more applicable to a LEED-NC project. Option 2: Exclude the hotel interior build-out & the retail tenant spaces from the LPB. The owner/developer\'s control over the interiors of these spaces is limited. Include the interior build-out of the condos in the LPB. The owner/developer has more control over this space. - We feel that this is a good option, although we are concerned that in including the condo interiors, we would not meet LEED-CS. Option 3: Include the common corridors leading to the condo units and/or hotel rooms in the LPB in order to document smoking rooms, weather stripping locations, etc. - We feel that it would be difficult to maintain a clear LPB in this situation, as some interior walls would be included and some would be excluded. Option 4: Continue to exclude all interior build-outs from the LPB. Use a similar approach to that suggested by the CS Reference Guide for EQ c8.2 (Views for 90% of Spaces). We would submit a tenant layout indicating smoking rooms, weather stripping locations, etc. This layout would be included in the submittal to show compliance with the prerequisite, but we would continue to exclude the interior partitions from the LPB for this and all other credits. Option 4 is the preferred approach. The project team wishes to maintain a simple and clear delineation between core & shell and tenant build out by excluding any interior partitions from the LPB. If prerequisite compliance requires that the common corridors are included in the LPB, the team will accept Options 2 or 3 as alternatives. Please advise as to the proper LPB approach to maintain compliance with EQ Prerequisite 2.
