Inquiry
The current project scope includes the completion of a 12 story hospital with floors B-6 finished and 7-12 as shelled floors(with some VIP suites as finished space on the 12th). Should our LEED certification scope only include our project scope & budget or can we include the shelled space in our point assessment? This could potentially affect several LEED points and would probably help us in the daylighting aspects. However, we don\'t really know what the true design & layout of the shelled floors will be when they are eventually designed and constructed (2-10 years). If we are instructed to include the shelled space in our calculations, we would need guidance on how to model them. It is our opinion that we would use a typical patient floor layout for the shelled floors since the assumption at this point is to finished those floors in that manner. This could potentially effect our approach to EQ Credits 8.1 and 8.2.
