Hello
I have an example with 26% of green area in the site (including the building). Most of this area is a green lawn, but it is not used water and fertilizer, the weather is favorable even in times of drought.
By not using fertilizer and irrigation for this type of vegetation and not affect native species, can be considered as vegetation adapted and tell the whole area for credit SSc5?

Gabriel, probably not. The intent of the credit is to provide habitat and promote biodiversity. A lawn, even one that survives the summer, is probably a monoculture that doesn't offer much in the way of habitat. Try mixing species and including regionally appropriate species for habitat.

Thanks for the quick return.
I also agree with your statement.
