All employees within the project boundary would need to be counted as part of this feature's scope.

#24769 - How do co-working space projects comply with this feature?

Projects that are operated as a co-working space should pursue the New & Existing Interiors project type. For this type of project, this feature would apply to all regular building occupants.
