Inquiry

This is not for ID but for a Administrative CIR, as there was not a Adminstrative section listed on the LEED on-line submittal options. 03/23/2007 Credit Interpretation Request Our project is a 310,796 s.f. mixed-use project. It is designed as a podium structure with subterranean parking. The mixed-use element includes 298,296 s.f. of residential and 12,500 s.f. of tenant. The entire project have been designed and constructed to potentially achieve various LEED v2.2 credits. The tenant space will consist retail, but the spaces will not be fully designed until they are leased. The owner would like to achieve LEED certification prior to the build-out of the tenant space. Based on several previous CIR rulings, we would like to create guidelines for the future retail to support the LEED credits that we have attempted to secure in the constructed space. This guideline will include "specific performance goals, information, and resource leads, as well as required elements where applicable". Some of the credits that we are pursuing will require us to assume a hypothetical maximum or minimum (whatever is most restrictive) occupant load to calculate usage rates for the entire building. (Example: Innovative Waste Water Reduction WE Cr. 2 sewage conveyance reduction requires an assumed fixture count for the future tenant space) Our project is registered under LEED -NC v2.2. We are trying to confirm that the approach we are proposing will be acceptable for a LEED certification submission in the near future. Please refer to Administrative CIR Rulings dated 2/22/2005,10/4/2004, 5/24/2004, and 5/17/2002.
