Does this credit apply for a building without any landscape/lawn, outdoor planters, or courtyard garden? Thanks.

Hi Alina,
Projects that have no landscaped areas or planter boxes within the LEED Project Boundary are still eligible to pursue the credit but you do not need to create a landscape management plan, since no landscape waste is generated and no fertilizers are applied onsite. In this scenario, you still do need to develop an erosion and sedimentation control plan. This is required for all projects, even urban projects with zero or minimal lot lines. (See FAQs above)
Hope this helps!

Karin,
If no landscape management plan is necessary, do I still need to provide a paragraph which summarizes the reasons for excluding any of the opertional elements?
Thank you!

Hi Katie - yes, you should provide an explanation for why any element doesn't apply to the project.
