Notes:

Reference: GBCI LEED Certification Policy Manual
For O&M the building must be in a state of typical physical occupancy.

For example, a hotel usually has a typical occupancy of about 60% of the rooms rented out. The O&M certification could not be attempted until the hotel was at least 60% occupied. If the hotel was just constructed and didn’ have any occupants the certification could not be earned.

A school dormitory is another example. If the dormitory was completed in April but will not be occupied until the fall semester in September, the project is not yet in typical occupancy because no students are living in the dorm between April - August.
