When identifying regularly occupied spaces in a project, the LEED AP should consider the maximum number of intended occupants, whether standing or seated, in each space. This is important for ensuring consistency in floor area values across various credits, such as those related to indoor environmental quality or space utilization. The consideration of occupants helps in determining space functionality and occupancy patterns, which are critical for accurate LEED assessments.
