SS Credit Tenant Design and Construction Guidelines (Only 1 Credit)
LEED BD+C: Core and Shell is designed to address the speculatively driven development market w here
project teams routinely do not control all aspects of the building’s construction. The scope of Core and
Shell is limited to those elements of the project under the direct control of the ow ner/developer.
At a minimum, the scope includes the core and the shell of the base building but can vary significantly
from project to project.
Given that Core and Shell is limited in its ability to control the design and construction of tenant interior fit-
outs, only portions of the building w ithin the LEED project scope should be used in credit calculations.
If a project team w ishes to pursue additional credits or thresholds beyond the construction scope of the
LEED project, a binding tenant sales and lease agreement must be provided as documentation. This
must be signed by the future tenant and include terms related to how the technical credit requirements
w ill be carried out by the tenant.
An unsigned or sample lease agreement is not acceptable.
Please note that lease agreements are not required in order to pursue Core andShell. They are only used
if a project is aiming to earn additional points considered outside of the project design and construction
scope that w ill be fit-out by a future tenant.
There are NO exemplary performance credits available for
integrative process.
The Prerequisite Integrative Project Planning and Design
ONLY applies to healthcare projects
The Credit Integrative Process applies to all projects (1 point)
