There is an existing athletic field within our project's LEED boundary that we would like to include in our calculation for SSc5.2 in order to earn exemplary performance.
Per LEED Interpretation #10217, "All LEED projects can choose to include or exclude athletic fields at the project team's discretion from WEc1. However, if such areas are included, they must be included in all other applicable credit calculations."
We will be excluding the athletic field from the WEc1 calculation, so does that mean we have to exclude it from the SSc5.2 calculation as well? The interpretation only addresses the inclusion of the athletic field. Any feedback would be most appreciated!
