What is the credit availability for Tenant Design and Construction Guidelines specifically for Core and Shell projects?

For Core and Shell projects, the credit availability for Tenant Design and Construction Guidelines is specifically set at one credit. This credit recognizes the importance of encouraging tenant spaces to align with sustainable practices, which can significantly enhance the overall performance of the building. By awarding one credit for this guideline, LEED promotes the integration of sustainable design strategies in tenant spaces specifically tailored to Core and Shell developments, where the building owner completes the base building but leases out the individual tenant spaces. This alignment helps ensure that future tenants also contribute to sustainable outcomes, creating a ripple effect that maximizes the benefits of green building practices throughout the entire project.

This structured approach encourages collaboration between the building owner and tenants, resulting in improved energy efficiency and minimized environmental impact, while fostering a holistic view of sustainability within the building's overall design.
