Tenant Lease Agreement
what are the LEED specific information that should be included in a tenant lease agreement? is it required to include all credits mentioned under case A,B & C of LEED NC rating system? thanks in advance.
Udana, you would need to include any credits that you are attempting, yes.
The tenant sales and lease agreement - Lighting
Does anyone know if the developer/owner can specifiy a requirement for a tennant to design lighing Power Density (%5) or more below
ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007 - Table 9.6.1 Lighting Power Densities Using the Space by Space Method.
Yes. You can do that and you can also require certain controls like occupancy sensors in space, where it's not already required per ASHRAE. I do however recommend listing Watts per square feet per space type instead of just 5% below ASHRAE. That just makes it easier for tenants to understand what that means.
Also the design guide is just a recommendation and guideline for the tenant not a requirement. Your tenant sales and lease agreement is separate from that and binding for the tenant.
Combining Tenant Lease Agreement with the Tenant Guideline
Dear all,
My project is a retail mall, and we are going for this LEED SS Credit 9.
I was wondering if I can combine both of the following in 1 document:
1) Tenant Guidelines (for the sake of this credit)
2) Tenant sales and lease agreement (for the sake of other credits such as water fixtures, smoking policy, CO2Carbon dioxide sensors...)
It is clearly stated in the notes above that both documents do not include the same content ("...a tenant sales and lease agreement is not enough to satisfy the requirements of this credit.")
My question is:
Can I develop 1 general document, which includes a section for the tenant obligations followed by a section giving guidelines for the purpose of SS Credit 9?
I do not see a problem in this (as long as the requirements are distinguished from the suggested guidelines), but I was wondering whether any of you had previous experience, where the Tenant Guidelines had to be a document distinct from the Tenant Sales and Lease Agreement.
Many thanks!
George,
I've never submitted these documents in the way you are suggesting, but I think these should be two distinct and separate documents.
The tenant sales and lease agreement, because it is a legal document, will have much more specific requirements about what needs to be adhered to in order to remain in compliance with the agreement. By contrast, the tenant guidelines should also far more suggestive in tone concerning which measures the tenant should pursue, offering reasons why it would be a good practice to install water efficient fixtures, improved mechanical systems, etc... It should also contain some narrative and background information about sustainability and LEED.
So I would separate these documents for clarity, both for the reviewers and for the tenants.
Thanks,
Dan
Many thanks Daniel! I would like to further clarify the following:
The issue is that there several documents that need to be provided to a potential tenant, such as "Lighting Agreement", "Methods of Payment", etc. Hence, the client proposed to issue 1 LEED-related document that would contain a strict binding section for the tenant lease agreements, followed by a suggestive section for the sake of SS Credit 9 (the distinction between what is required and what is advised will be very clear as they are 2 different sections).
Thanks again and best regards!
