[Equest-users] LEED Core & Shell questions

[Patrick J. O'Leary, Jr.]

i don't recall the page in the leed 3 manual right off hand but 1)  
tenant spaces can be modeled as proposed type (hvac/water/lighting) if 
there is a legally binding signed/or master lease agreement specifying 
the proposed requirements that all tenants must adhere to and said lease 
agreement is uploaded as part of the project documentation.  i.e. lower 
lighting lpd, increased hvac unit efficiencies/power, and water saving 
fixtures.

and 2)  there is an equest limit on the number of submeters a project 
can have, and a core/shell project requires submeters for each tenant to 
be separated out between process, lighting, and hvac, so the number of 
meters can add up quickly if you're dealing with a sizeable core/shell 
with many tenant spaces.
