NC-v4 SSc3:Open space

Open space - overhead vegetable canopy

Hi,

Could you please help me to understand what "overhead vegetable canopy" means?

Is it the area under the green tunel with ivy or simillar plants?

Or maybe a pavement under the tree conopy also counts?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Agnieszka,  As stated in LEED guide, the overhead vegetated canopy is described as turf and shrub (SSC – Open Space page 179) and turf grass under overhead tree canopies can be counted in total open space but do not qualify as vegetated open space. Best regard – Afogreen Build Team
