FAQs about SSc2 :

Is my site previously developed?

What exactly does LEED mean by residential neighborhood or area?

Only a portion of my complying residential development lies within the ½-mile radius. Will this suffice for credit compliance?

Where do I draw the radius from?

Is one building or residential area enough to satisfy the residential density requirement?

My project has access to services that seem to be basic, but are not listed in the LEED Reference Guide—like insurance company, nail salon, auto repair shop. Will these count?

My project is on a base or campus where some services are available to the population of the project, but not the general public. Do these count?

For Option 2, does the residential neighborhood with average density of 10 units per net acre have to be existing, or can planned neighborhoods count towards earning this option?

What site area should be used for an interiors project when figuring out the density radius? The building site area, or building footprint?

Pilot credit "Walkable Project Sites" double-dips with SSc2?

3 thumbs up

Our campus student union is considering an Innovation Credit using v4 pilot credit 14: Walkable Project Sites. Would this pilot credit be double dipping if we also achieve SSc2 option 2? Are there any considerations of the type of street that requires street trees on Walkable Project Sites? We may not be able to achieve an average of 40' spacing between, but the street is not a heavy traffic street, but an internal university street, mainly pedestrian. Thanks.

I have been able to successfully achieve both SSc2 option 2 as well as the Walkable Sites Pilot Credit. I don't know for sure about the definition of "street" but I would think that trees would be even more useful/ advantageous on a pedestrian street.
