Hi all, I'm now working on a building without exterior hardscape (the LEED boundary is based on the building footprint). However, the building has large, uncovered external terraces. Question 1: Can we consider the terrace as exterior surface to implement the Management Plan? Consider that, for the terrace - Deicing is needed during winter season - External Cleaning is due during all season Question 2: Can we consider facade cleaning activity for the purpose of this credit? Thanks.

Hi Fabio, both the terrance and building facade need to follow the plan and credit requirements. Hard surfaces like patios and terraces fall under the definition of hardscape for this credit. And facade cleaning is directly covered by the "cleaning of the building exterior" portion of the credit requirements. Thanks!
