We need to apply for the option 2 in our project since the 20% of the total site area is greater than the 50% of the site excluding the building footprint.

According to the 20% requirement, we need to provide 8,313 sqft of green area (total site area is 41,570 sqft).

We are providing a total of 9,151 sqft of vegetated surface by the following:

7,184 sqft of green areas (greenroof and at ground level)
1,967 sqft of planters (on green roof and ground level too)

Can we use the planters' area in order to achieve credit compliance?

If we only count the green areas we will be out of compliance. If we use the planters we will achieve it.

We area applying for SSc2 Development Density.

Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you.
