Our USGBC reviewer commented on the three requirements of a "lawn" per previous LEED Interpretations, one of which read, "lawn is only acceptable if it does not include any non-native/adapted species." The credit requires we document = or >50% native or adapted vegetation.
Does the "non-" operator in the reviewer's comment apply to the noun after the forward slash; e.g. "lawn does not include any non-native nor non-adapted species"?
Thank you,
