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?

Definition of fitness center?

Would a studio dedicated to a particular activity/sport count as a fitness center? Martial arts, yoga, dance, etc? I would think the answer is yes but want to confirm since we don't have a basic service to spare!

I have had success using a yoga center in the past but it was an older version of LEED so I can't say with 100% certainty that it will work again. But I think you have a good shot at getting it accepted.

I had a question on the same topic: Would a center with multiple indoor and outdoor sport courts qualify? We're not sure there's a fitness room though but I would think it could be filed as a "fitness center".

Anyone has tried submitting this in the past? I would think a sport facility could qualify for a fitness center...

Someone mentioned to me today we may be able to file the outdoor sport courts as a park instead, Tristan any idea?
