FAQs about SSc5.2 :

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?

Can a project designate open space off-site and not within the LEED project boundary to meet the credit requirements?

Which approach should a project take if the LEED project boundary covers two areas with different zoning requirements?

The credit requirements state the open space area must be ‘adjacent’ to the project. Does the designated site area need to be right next to the project building?

We are doing a campus approach for our project. For pursuing SSc 5.2, Case 2 "Open space that is equal to the building footprint can be considered separate from the project site, as long as the open space is preserved for the life of the building. The open space must be contained within the LEED campus boundary." Does these include utility buildings also?

Fevbin, I don't understand the question. Is the LEED project buidling a utility building?
