NC-2009 SSc5.2: Site Development—Maximize Open Space
The building has 2 roof levels, upper roof with the mechanical eqipements and the lower roof which has direct to the medical clinical floor (2nd floor). For this credit, can we consider and include the lower roof portion as open space for the Option-1 requirement. 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?

I have had success in including both pedestrian hardscape and vegetation on terrace roofs as long as the project is considered urban (i.e. meets one of the compliance paths of SSc2).
