EBOM-2009 SSc5:Site Development—Protect or Restore Open Habitat

Future Contract for SSc5

We are currently pursuing EBOM for a small campus of buildings and are interested in the off-site option and our company owns a large plot of land that will be redeveloped into a new building with a large area dedicated to native planting (actually, all of the open space will be restored to native plants, about 100+ acres). Can we claim a few acres of this future restored open space in our current EBOM application? The further open space will be constructed in about three years.

Frederick, I don't think this would work this time around—maybe when you recertify in a few years. LEED-EBOM certification is meant to measure current practices at the project building.
