Our leed project is a single building with other 4 buildings surrounding it. We made the LEED project boundary just around this single building, around the 5 buildings, there are a large area of natural land which can meet this credit. but within the leed project boundary, the natural land perhaps will not meet the requirement, and all the 5 buildings are under the same owner's management and have the same property management company. How can we do then? the leed project boundary can not be changed any more, shall we need to apply in an off-site mode so can to include other natural areas around the 5 buildings? But in fact all the other natural areas are all in the whole area near the project building,can it be counted off-site are? how can we do then ? do you have some suggestions ? thank you very much !

Yan, please see the guidance on the MPR3 page. You should be able to use this area for SSc5 onsite compliance, but not included it in your LEED boundary.

thank you very much,roberts, I see the MPR3 guidance, but can not find the connected part, you mean all the vegetation land around the 5 buildings can contribute to onsite compliance for this LEED building? And I need not to submit any other support documents ?

Yan, "Any land used solely to earn this credit, but not otherwise required to be included by MPR #3," does not have to be included in your LEED boundary, according to MPR3.However, I would suggest that you still must follow reasonable methods in setting a boundary, and not gerrymander it.
