Once you have outlined your LEED project boundary, determined your project’s open space zoning requirements, and know whether or not you are achieving SSc2, then you can begin incorporating the required amount of open space into the design.
- Case 1: If your project has zoning requirements for open space, provide open space that exceeds this requirement by 25%.
- Case 2: If your project does not have zoning requirements, provide open space equal to the area of the building footprint.
- Case 3: If your project does have zoning requirements but there are no requirements for open space, provide open space equal to 20% of your project site’s area.
