FAQs about SSc1 :

Do SSc1 paths pertain to the whole building or just your own space? What if our own space meets one of the SSc1 paths but the whole building does not?

What if my base building is LEED registered and not yet certified—can I still earn five points under SSc1?

Is exemplary performance available for this credit, in addition to the five points?

LEED CI Boundary is within a Building's Core

This may be a simple question but we need a clear interpretation on this. How can we apply Light Pollution Reduction Path in our case? The whole LEED CI Project boundary is within the building's core and approximately 15m from the building perimeter. Are we getting a point for not having any light spill from our boundary to the exterior of the building? or just simply, this path is not applicable for our project and thus no point at all? Thank you in advance.

It looks like you're missing a key distinction about SSc1 in LEED-CI when considering this pathway. Note that SSc1 in LEED-CI is the whole-building credit. This means that in order to achieve ANY of the pathways in SSc1, ALL of the spaces within the base building will need to be included in the pathway calculations (both your tenant space and all of the other tenants). So for Option 2 - Path 6 specifically: it does not matter where your tenant space is in relation to the base building - you need to also be looking at all of spaces/tenants in order to achieve the pathway. As such, you could pursue the pathway in a tenant space on the base building interior. You just need to also consider all of the other spaces and their lighting to make sure that all of those are compliant as well. To be honest, my guess would be that this pathway is one of the most rarely attempted of all of the SSc1 options given that amount of work/effort to obtain the necessary information and documentation from all of the other tenants/base building...
