Hi,
For one of our projects in the MENA region, there is no landscape area at all due to the nature of the project. Is this credit not applicable in that case and we are not eligible for any points
or
can we apply for option 1 No irrigation required and get points as we dont have any landscape area, hence no irrigation required.
I would like to think the former to be right, but just wanted to be sure. Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sonali,
This prerequisite is still applicable. LEED Guide (Step-By-Step-Guidance- WEPC1 step 4) states
"Option 1 is for projects that do not require irrigation, based on the location and landscape design. Projects that have no landscape area automatically achieve this prerequisite."

The above response is correct - projects with no landscape area automatically meet the Prereq requirements, but are not eligible for any points under the credit.
