The design of new facility space must be based on the designated mandatory and prescriptive requirements of ASHRAE 9O.1-2OO7 or USGBC-approved local code, whichever is more stringent.

For projects located in urban areas that earn a Development Density and Community Connectivity credit, open space also includes nonvehicular, pedestrian-oriented hardscape spaces.
