What BERDE project type refers to project areas owned or leased and managed by the project owner within a building?

• A. Berde - Buildings: Building
• B. Berde - Buildings: Tenants
• C. Berde - Districts
• D. Berde - Buildings: Common Areas

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how BERDE classifies space within a building by ownership and management. When a project owner holds ownership or leases space inside a building and is responsible for its management, while that space is used by occupants (tenants), that area falls under the category of Buildings: Tenants. This designation specifically captures internal, tenant-occupied portions of a building that the owner oversees, rather than the entire building as a single unit or larger district areas. Think of a building where the owner leases out several storefronts or offices to different tenants and maintains those spaces—the tenant-occupied portions managed by the owner fit this category. It’s distinct from the whole-building classification, which would cover the entire structure regardless of lease status, from district-wide areas which encompass multiple buildings, or from common areas, which are spaces shared by all occupants rather than allocated to a particular tenant.
