If all maintenance equipment is electric except the lawnmower (fuel powered) doe this preclude meeting the prerequisite? OR does ALL maintenance equipment need to be electric-powered only?

Hi Denaye, a compliant policy is the only thing needed to meet the prerequisite. Compliance with SSc5 may or may not be feasible depending on your actual site management practices during the performance period. But in terms of achieving this prereq, you only need to have a compliant policy. This is because the policy is an important guidance document that sets the project up for success in achieving the sustainability strategies/criteria outlined by the credit. But USGBC understands that not all projects can actually meet the criteria and goals in the policy - and that's why there's the separate SSc5 credit that awards points.
