FAQs about SSc2 :

Is my site previously developed?

What exactly does LEED mean by residential neighborhood or area?

Only a portion of my complying residential development lies within the ½-mile radius. Will this suffice for credit compliance?

Where do I draw the radius from?

Is one building or residential area enough to satisfy the residential density requirement?

My project has access to services that seem to be basic, but are not listed in the LEED Reference Guide—like insurance company, nail salon, auto repair shop. Will these count?

My project is on a base or campus where some services are available to the population of the project, but not the general public. Do these count?

For Option 2, does the residential neighborhood with average density of 10 units per net acre have to be existing, or can planned neighborhoods count towards earning this option?

What site area should be used for an interiors project when figuring out the density radius? The building site area, or building footprint?

NC-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity

ATM and Driving School

Hi all, need to get some guidance here. Can ATM considered as "bank"? Since the ATM is having full capability of banking services, except opening bank account. Additionally, can driving school considered as "school"? The driving school also having standard services like canteen, etc that can be used by pedestrian.

In LEED v4 ATMs are specifically excluded ("It does not include automated facilities such as ATMs, vending machines, and touchscreens.") so I wouldn't count on it, but it doesn't hurt to try... I would expect a driving school would NOT be accepted since it's a car-related service, and I think they're trying to discourage car usage... So all in all I'd say both will unlikely be accepted, but you might as well try submitting it anyway and see what happens! Just don't count on definitely achieving the credit...

Thanks Michelle for sharing your view.. Any opinion whether Western Union can be considered as "bank"? Since we can make account on the Western Union. How about training center? Can we considered as "school"?

I think your chances are definitely a lot higher with those two options, but still no guarantee. Definitely submit it, though, and see what happens! Just beware, though. Is the Western Union inside another location (ex. in the grocery store)? If so, you'll have to choose which one you want to count because you can't count that one location for both items.
