What do I do with the snow and ice removal activity during the performance period if we don't get any snow? It appears the requirement is 20% compliance in each operational area. Is the project 100% compliant in this area because they didn't apply any snow melt? Or is it 0% compliant because no snow removal activity was needed? Is this credit not available if you don't have snow during performance?

Hi Michelle, if you don't use deicer during your performance period you're 100% compliant for that component.

Hi Trista, Would the same be true for a performance period in summer months? I'm curious where the line is drawn, since it seems like the summer would be just like an area that does not get snow or ice. However, then it begs the question of how it would work if there was snow during only part of the performance period - is it just that if it snows at least once, you're launched into having to report via a log, but if it does not then you automatically get that part of the LEED point?

Hi Tracy, yep the same thing applies in summer months. Essentially you're only accountable for the deicer that's applied, so if no deicer is needed (due to the season, the project's location, etc), you're off the hook and are considered compliant for that component.
