Inquiry

The building that we are applying for LEED-EB is an upscale hotel and providing smoking rooms is necessary to compete in the market. Due to this reason, Option A is not applicable to our project. If the building only designates one floor for guests who smoke (out of upwards of 40 floors of guestrooms), would we strive for Option B? Or, is the hotel considered a residential building and therefore fall under Option C?
