Hello, We are consulting on a large shopping mall and the Client will be covering one of the building facades with vegetation (roughly 25% of the vertical walls area will be covered). Do you think we can get an ID credit? I might need to submit a CIR, but I just want to check if someone has an accurate answer based on previous experience. Thanks!

Omar, I think you have a shot at this, but I am not aware of precedent for it. There has been a ruling that green walls can't be applied to SSc5, so I think you would need to show a rigorous environmental benefit that goes basic LEED credit requirements.
