there is a minimum of green area (landscape) to comply with the outdoor water use reduction?
in v3 I understand should be at least 5% of LEED Boundary.

Hi Jose,
There is no minimum landscaped area required to comply with the Outdoor Water Use prerequisite or credit. If the site does not require irrigation the project will automatically earn the prerequisite and points for the credit. Ensure you choose the right option within the prerequisite/credit that fits the irrigation needs of your project. Option 1 is better for projects that do not need permanent irrigation beyond an establishment period, and Option 2 should be chosen if there are irrigation needs on site outside of an establishment period.
I hope this helps!
