Schools-2009 SSc5.2: Site Development—Maximize Open Space
Dear all,
The school we are working on will have a basketball court on its roof. Could this be possibly counted as hardscape area for the purpose of this credit ?
Many thanks,

I'm confused about the difference between SSc5.1 and SSc5.2. Can I earn them both?
Can roof terraces contribute to SSc5.2?
How should I count planters and vegetation on balconies?
What if my local code has a landscaping requirement? Is this the same as an open space requirement?
Can permeable paving count as hardscape or vegetation towards SSc5.2 calculations?
Can interior courtyards contribute to vegetation requirements?

For hardscape to count toward this credit, you have to also earn SSc2.Since playing fields as well as pedestian-oriented hardscape can count (the latter dependent on earning SSc2) then it seems like you should be able to do this.
