Inquiry

This question is in regard to a mixed use series of buildings planning to apply for certification as a LEED CS Campus project. The project is designed to be built containing no interior public common areas. The only common area air conditioned space will be the elevator mechanical room. The interior tenant spaces within the project will be built only to raw shell specifications with no electrical or mechanical fixtures or finishes, lighting or air conditioning. All interior lighting and HVAC equipment for specific tenant areas will be installed by the future tenants. Only exterior project lighting will be provided by the Developer. Therefore, the question is as follows: What is considered baseline for energy use by USGBC in a CS Campus building project, where the core and shell is delivered in a raw shell condition, with no interior lighting or HVAC to be installed by the Developer?
